O'Meara gets first Champions Tour victory in Georgia

SAVANNAH, Ga. — Mark O'Meara got the help he needed to win for the first time on the Champions Tour, teaming with Nick Price to beat Joey Sindelar and John Cook on the second hole of a playoff in the better-ball Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf.

O'Meara, the 1998 Masters and British Open winner, won for the first time since the PGA European Tour's 2004 Dubai Desert Classic.

Price ended the playoff with a 7-foot par putt.

Cook and Sindelar (61) and O'Meara and Price (62) finished at 28-under 188 in the 54-hole event at The Club at Savannah Harbor, an island layout in the Savannah River.

Ken Green, making his first Champions Tour start since having his lower right leg amputated after an auto accident in June that killed his brother and girlfriend, teamed with Mike Reid tied for 26th at 12 under. They had a 71 on Sunday.

Ballantine's Championship

JEJU, South Korea — Australia's Marcus Fraser broke a seven-year title drought, shooting a 3-under 69 to complete a wire-to-wire victory in the weather-shortened Ballantine's Championship.

Fraser had just one bogey going into final round and added only one more, on the 18th hole. He finished at 12-under 204 at Pinx Golf Club, where the tournament was shortened to 54-holes after fog delayed the first day of play for nearly seven hours.

The 31-year-old Fraser won for the first time since the 2003 Russian Open.

Australia's Brett Rumford (71) and Northern Ireland's Gareth Maybin (72) tied for second, four strokes back.
