Game On: Bringin' the buzz on sports

About Reid and Tom

Reid Cherner and Tom Weir have been with USA TODAY since 1982 and they have written Game On! since March 2008.

Reid has covered everything from high schools to horse racing to the college and the pros. The only thing he likes more than his own voice is the sound of readers telling him when he's right and wrong.

Tom has covered every Summer and Winter Olympics since 1984, and has made numerous trips to the Super Bowl, World Series, Final Four and NBA Finals. In 2009, he put more miles on his bicycle than on his car.

About Mike and Mike

Michael McCarthy and Michael Hiestand have more in common than their first names.

Both have covered sports media and marketing for USA TODAY. Both have tackled the sports biz ranging from what's behind mega-events such as the Olympics and Super Bowl to the sometimes-hidden numbers behind the sports world's bottom line.

But they usually come at things from different directions, and it's no wonder. Hiestand is an Oregon native who went to Stanford while McCarthy is a native New Yorker who went to St. John's.

Spain's Larrazabal wins BMW International Open - Golf - The ...

Larrazabal made his short put on the par-5 18th after Garcia missed from about 5 feet, giving him his first title since winning the Alstom Open de France in 2008.

"I had nothing to lose," Larrazabal said. "If you tell me who you want to beat in a playoff, then I would say first Tiger Woods and then Sergio. I have a lot of respect for Sergio, he is one of my heroes. He is still for me one of the best players in the world."

The outcome also allowed both players to qualify for the British Open at Royal St. George's next month. Their prize money put them atop a money list from six European Tour events starting with the BMW PGA Championship and ending in Munich.

"I think my game is the type of game for the Open," Larrazabal said. "When we played the first hole of the playoff, we congratulated each other."

Garcia birdied the 18th during his final round to shoot 4-under 68, matching Larrazabal at 16 under and forcing the playoff. They matched each other's score at No. 18 twice, then did the same at No. 12 and No. 17, before playing the last hole for the fourth time on Sunday.

Before the playoff, Larrazabal had birdies at Nos. 1, 6, 7 and 9 before two more at No. 10 and 11 gave him the outright lead. Garcia started with five pars but, having relinquished the lead, made a long eagle putt at No. 9 to give him back a share of the lead.

It remained close until the 18th, when the two players were deadlocked.

"Pablo and I played some great golf in the playoff. It is a pity one of us had to lose," Garcia said. "But seventh at the U.S. Open and second now, this shows my game is coming around."

Defending PGA champion Martin Kaymer shot a 69 for a share of 18th place with Dustin Johnson (67) and European Ryder Cup captain Colin Montgomerie (69). They were seven strokes back.

Kaymer will drop out of the top three when the world golf rankings are published Monday, allowing U.S. Open winner Rory McIlory of Northern Ireland to rise to third behind the English duo of Luke Donald and Lee Westwood. It will be the first time that players from Britain and Ireland have held the top three spots.
