BLAINE, Minn. -- Joe Durant made a 10-foot eagle putt on the first hole of a playoff with Miguel Angel Jimenez on Sunday to win the PGA Tour Champions 3M Championship.I almost dont even remember it going in, Durant said, because I knew I hit a good putt. I took a little more time with it and put a really good stroke on it.The 52-year-old Durant won on the par-5 18th after closing with a birdie on the hole in regulation for a 9-under 63. After a double bogey on the par-4 14th, Jimenez birdied the last four holes for a 67 to match Durant at 19-under 197 at TPC Twins Cities.Jimenez birdied the 18th in the playoff, too, before Durant rolled in the right-to-left winner.Durant won for the second time on the 50-and-over tour and the first by himself after teaming with Billy Andrade to win the Legends of Golf last year. Durant won the last of his four PGA Tour titles at Walt Disney World in 2006.I was beginning to wonder if I was ever going to win one, Durant said. And after Fridays round, when I shot 2-under, I didnt think it was going to be this weekend either, honestly ... Ive been knocking on the door, but those doubts start creeping in your mind though if you could ever shoot low enough for three days to do it. So, Im very thankful. Im fortunate to win this week.Durant opened with a 70 and shot a 64 on Saturday to begin the final round four strokes behind leader Jimenez. Durant birdied Nos. 1-2, 4-5 and 7-8 in a front-nine 30, and added birdies on Nos. 10 and 12. He dropped a stroke on the par-3 13th and got it back with a birdie on the par-4 14th.Jimenez shot 67-63 to take a one-stroke lead over Kevin Sutherland into the final round.Two weeks ago at Carnoustie in the Senior British Open, Jimenez took a four-stroke lead into the last day, only to shoot 75 and tie for third -- three strokes behind winner Paul Broadhurst.Jimenez won in Mississippi in March for his third career PGA Tour Champions victory. The 52-year-old Spanish player has 15 regular European Tour victories, the last in the 2014 Spanish Open at a tour-record 50 years, 133 days.Two-time winner Bernhard Langer birdied six of the first seven holes in a 64 to tie for third with Sutherland (68) at 17 under. Langer has broken par in all 24 of his rounds in the event.I was very aggressive today, Langer said. I wanted to shoot 10 under. That was my mindset.David Frost (66) and Monday qualifier Glen Day (68) followed at 16 under.Two-time defending champion Kenny Perry had a 68 to tie for 37th at 7 under.John Daly tied for 71st at 3 over after a 75.

After Mondays hard-fought loss, the wait seemed longer than usual.

Every sport has officials and they also have stories about hard work and sacrifice but their accomplishments are seldom recognized by anyone outside their inner circle. Kate Markgraf Jersey . LOUIS -- Lance Lynn was one of the more enthusiastic participants as the St. Ben Stokes has been ruled out of the final Test against Pakistan due to a calf injury sustained during the second Test at Old Trafford, although England still hope he could be involved in the limited-overs series that follows.Stokes, who missed most of the series against Sri Lanka after suffering a knee injury that required surgery, was making his comeback in Manchester. But he was forced off the pitch midway through a spell of bowling on the fourth day and scans subsequently showed he had torn his right calf. As a result he missed the third Test at Edgbaston and will not play at The Oval.While an ECB spokesman said Stokes would work towards being available for selection for the Royal London ODI series starting later this month, England will be taking no risks with his recovery.Alastair Cook, Englands Test captain, suggested on Tuesday that Stokes latest injury was in some way related to his previous one - perhaps indicating that he might have required more time to retain peak physical condition before returning to international cricket - and stated that England should treat him with care and lets get him back 100 percent before we start talkinng of him playing again.ddddddddddddFollowing the Tests, Englands five-match ODI series against Pakistan starts on August 24 before a one-off T20 on September 7 completes the international season. Pending security assessments they then leave for the tour of Bangladesh at the end of September - a trip that includes three ODIs and two Tests - before a five-match Test series in India.Stokes will be vital to the balance of the side on the subcontinent where England will likely want to field two spinners. The performances of Chris Woakes since his comeback against Sri Lanka mean that they are not without another all-round option, but their combined skills mean England could at some stage field a six-man bowling attack with Stokes considered a good enough batsman to play in the top five.England also confirmed that Adil Rashid had been released to play in Yorkshires Championship match against Warwickshire, starting at Headingley on Thursday. Rashid and Jake Ball were the unused players in Englands squad of 13 for Edgbaston. ' ' '
