Scheffler’s stead 72 gives him Palmer victory….Goosen gets comfortable win….Jin Young Ko wins on return to LPGA Tour after 3-month break

ORLANDO (AP) — Scottie Scheffler closed with an even-par 72 to win the Arnold Palmer Invitational by one shot at Bay Hill.
 
Scheffler made key putts to save two unlikely pars, followed with a pair of lag putts. Scheffler now has two PGA Tour titles in the last month, having picked up his first victory at the Phoenix Open.
 
Billy Horschel shot 75 and tied for second with Tyrrell Hatton and Viktor Hovland. Horschel missed a 30-foot birdie try on 18.
 

 
Goosen gets comfortable win
 
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. (AP) — Retief Goosen earned a four-shot win at the Hoag Classic.
 
Goosen holed out for eagle from a greenside bunker on the short par-4 first hole, birdied the next two and cruised to an 8-under 63.
 
A stroke behind fellow South African star Ernie Els entering the round, Goosen pulled away quickly at Newport Beach Country Club in breezy but calmer conditions than the players faced Saturday.
 
K.J. Choi was second after a 66 in the PGA Tour Champions event.
 

 
Jin Young Ko wins on return to LPGA Tour after 3-month break
 
SINGAPORE (AP) — World No. 1 Jin Young Ko birdied the 18th hole for a 6-under 66 to win the LPGA Tour’s HSBC Women’s World Championship by two strokes over fellow South Korean player In Gee Chun and Australian Minjee Lee.
 
Ko was making her return to the LPGA Tour after a three-month break. She finished with a 72-hole total of 17-under 271.
