Boo Weekley snaps 13-year win drought at Insperity Invitational
Boo Weekley tees off on the first hole during the first round of the Galleri Classic at Mission Hills Country Club in Rancho Mirage, Calif., March 29, 2024. Boo Weekley delivered a bogey-free 3-under-par 69 to comfortably win his first Champions Tour event at the Insperity Invitational on Sunday in The Woodlands, Texas.
Weekley didn’t live up to the 6-under scores he posted in each of the first two rounds. But he still finished the event with no bogeys in 54 holes, finishing three strokes clear at 15-under-par 201 at The Woodlands Country Club.
For Weekley, who joined the Champions Tour in 2023, it was his first win of any kind since the PGA Tour’s Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial in 2013.
“I really hadn’t even thought about (how long since I had won); you know what I mean? I probably will when I get home later on tonight or whenever I get back home, to sit down and think about it, just kind of go back through play by play and what really happened all this week,” Weekley reflected. “Because you never can soak it all in at one time and just understand what’s really going on with the fans and your family and, you know, just how I actually really played and, you know, how I can improve on how I played.
“It’s (an) awesome feeling again to be a winner again but at the same time thank the Good Lord for giving me the talent to be able to do this.”
With his victory, he jumped 16 spots to third in the Charles Schwab Cup standings.
Weekley largely treaded water in his final round, following an opening par with a birdie on the par-4 second hole before rattling off 12 straight pars. But he finished well, converting a tap-in birdie on the par-4 15th and pouring in a distant birdie at No. 17 to take command.
“This game’s hard enough as it is, and it’s hard to not play a round of golf without making a bogey, you know? And to do it three days in a row at a Champions Tour course, to me that’s a feat,” Weekley said. “It’s just another something I can mark off on my scorecard back at home that I’ve done for myself.”
South Africa’s Ernie Els, who entered the day a stroke back in second place, birdied the final hole to finish 1 under on the day and alone in second at 12 under. However, his pursuit of Weekley was undone by a double-bogey 6 on the 17th hole after he put his second shot in the water.
“On 17, I never had the right club off the tee all week,” Els said. “And I tried to just ease up on the 3-iron, I hit it dead right, and the second shot was pretty bad. So that was the end of my tournament.”
Northern Ireland’s Darren Clarke (68) and South Korea’s Charlie Wi (70) landed in a tie for third at 11 under. Stewart Cink and Zach Johnson, the top two players on the Charles Schwab Cup leaderboard, each carded 70 in the final round to finish tied for fifth at 10 under.
Australia’s Rod Pampling posted the best round of the day at 6 under to rally to even-par.
Round 1 leader Ben Crane scored a 79 — tied for the second-worst round Sunday — to fall to a tie for 43rd.

Shane van Gisbergen pulls off stunning comeback at Watkins Glen
May 10, 2026; Watkins Glen, New York, USA; Crew members work on the car of NASCAR Cup Series driver Shane Van Gisbergen (97) in the garage prior to the Go Bowling at The Glen at Watkins Glen International. Mandatory Credit: Matthew O’Haren-Imagn Images NASCAR’s road-racing superstar put on a comeback for the ages on Sunday afternoon.
After a pit stop with 24 laps to go at Watkins Glen International, Trackhouse Racing’s Shane van Gisbergen amazingly erased a 29-second deficit as he chased down leader Ty Gibbs and roared away to win the NASCAR Cup Series’ Go Bowling At The Glen in Watkins Glen, N.Y.
The New Zealand-born driver fell to 22nd place after his last stop under green, but he set out to run down Gibbs and second-place teammate Connor Zilisch. He chopped off seconds each lap and passed Gibbs’ No. 54 Toyota with eight laps left.
The No. 97 Chevrolet driver wound up beating runner-up Michael McDowell by a massive 7.288 seconds.
While leading 74 of the race’s 100 laps, van Gisbergen notched his sixth victory in the past seven road races and secured his seventh career Cup win — all on road courses — in just 62 starts. He joined Tyler Reddick as the only drivers to win from the pole this season.
“We weren’t very good in practice, and then qualifying was amazing, good tweaks, and then today,” said van Gisbergen, who moved to 16th in the point standings. “I wasn’t sure how it was going to work, and then to run them down like that. Very special to do two (Glen wins) in a row.”
The fourth-year road ace claimed he wasn’t as dominant as it looked.
“It’s not easy,” he said. “Everyone’s really good. There was a lot of pressure there. I think McDowell was good. Connor was good. Tyler Reddick. There were some really good guys and a lot of pressure.
“Just stoked for these guys in executing every facet of our game.”
Gibbs, Chase Briscoe and Reddick rounded out the top five.
Chevrolet won for the seventh time in the past eight visits to the Finger Lakes region’s road layout and for the fourth time in a dozen starts in 2026.
In 2026’s second race on a road course, van Gisbergen started from the point after winning the pole Saturday on his 37th birthday. He sailed away from McDowell’s Chevy by over two seconds after eight times around the layout.
As the only driver on pit road coming in after leading the first 18 laps, van Gisbergen managed to finish eighth and earn stage points. Trackhouse’s Ross Chastain was first in the segment win followed by Team Penske’s Joey Logano and Ryan Blaney, but Chase Elliott decided not to pit and stayed out for points and ended up 12th.
In the 30-lap Stage 2, Trackhouse drivers van Gisbergen and Zilisch checked out entirely, taking a healthy five-second lead over McDowell by Lap 38. Meanwhile, Chastain’s No. 1 fell back to 18th until flying debris — a black tent — landed on the track on Lap 40.
Spire Motorsports teammates McDowell and Daniel Suarez started 1-2 with seven laps left in the stage, but the two Chevy drivers faded with two laps to go. van Gisbergen beat Reddick by less than a second followed by Gibbs, Austin Dillon and Kyle Busch to end Stage 2.
Caution 3 flew on Lap 60 when Logano’s No. 22 Ford lost a left front tire. van Gisbergen and Reddick stayed out for track position, but the majority of the field pitted with the chance to make it to the end of fuel.

Hannes Wolf's hat trick powers NYCFC over Crew
May 10, 2026; New York, New York, USA; New York City FC midfielder Hannes Wolf (17) celebrates with teammates after scoring his second goal of the match against the Columbus Crew during the first half at Yankee Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Vincent Carchietta-Imagn Images Hannes Wolf scored twice in the opening 16 minutes and finished off his first professional hat trick in the 66th during his return to the starting XI and helped New York City Football Club ended a seven-game winless skid with a 3-0 victory over the visiting Columbus Crew on Sunday.
Wolf missed New York’s 1-0 loss against CF Montreal on April 25 sustained three days earlier against FC Cincinnati and was used as a substitute for last week’s 2-0 loss last Sunday before returning in a big way against Columbus.
Wolf helped NYCFC (4-5-3, 15 points) get its first win since beating Colorado on March 14. After NYCFC went 0-5-2 in its skid, Wolf struck in the 12th and 16th before scoring again to clinch things.
Wolf notched the seventh hat trick in the MLS this season. It was the eighth hat trick in NYCFC history and first since Alonso Martinez at FC Dallas on July 25.
Nicolas Fernandez set up each goal while Nico Cavallo and Agustin Ojeda each had an assist.
Wolf gave NYCFC the lead by getting to the middle area slightly above the box after his teammates moved the ball up the field with four passes. Ojeda took a pass from Fernandez, moved down the left side, eluded Columbus defender Rudy Camacho and flicked a pass to Wolf.
Wolf finished the sequence by sending a right-footed shot by goalie Patrick Schulte into the bottom right corner.
NYCFC doubled its lead when Wolf got even closer to the net, took a pass from Fernandez near the end line and sent a left-footed shot from about six yards out into the upper part of the net.
Wolf finished off his hat trick by getting a quick pass from Fernandez in the center of the box and lifting a right-footed shot from into the middle of the net.
NYCFC goalie Matt Freese made two saves in his 100th career regular season MLS match for his second shutout this season.
Columbus (3-6-3, 12 points) was blanked for the third time this season and held to two goals or fewer for the 11th time this season. Schulte made three saves.

Nick Castellanos homers in 9th, Padres beat Cardinals
May 10, 2026; San Diego, California, USA; San Diego Padres right fielder Nick Castellanos (21) rounds the bases after hitting an two-run home run during the ninth inning against the St. Louis Cardinals at Petco Park. Mandatory Credit: Denis Poroy-Imagn Images Manny Machado’s sacrifice fly in the bottom of the 10th inning Sunday capped a San Diego Padres’ comeback that gave them a 3-2 win over the visiting St. Louis Cardinals.
Ramon Laureano was placed on second to start the bottom of the 10th and Jackson Merrill was intentionally walked. But Gordon Graceffo (2-1) unintentionally walked Fernando Tatis Jr. to fill the bases, setting the stage for Machado to win the game.
Adrian Morejon (3-1) recorded the win by throwing just one pitch, retiring pinch-hitter Jose Fermin on a popup to first that stranded two runners in the Cardinals’ half of the 10th.
San Diego forced extra innings when Nick Castellanos belted a two-strike, two-run homer to left-center off closer Riley O’Brien in the bottom of the ninth that scored Xander Bogaerts. He singled to start the inning, went to second on defensive indifference and reached third on a wild pitch.
It was the second homer of the year for Castellanos and gave O’Brien his third blown save in 14 chances.
The dramatic long ball no-decisioned both starters after good outings. St. Louis’ Kyle Leahy worked five scoreless innings, permitting only two hits and walking four while fanning five. Padres right-hander Walker Buehler gave up just three hits and two runs in six innings with no walks and two strikeouts.
Buehler mowed down the first 11 hitters he faced before finding two-out trouble in the fourth. Alec Burleson singled and stole second before Buehler hung a 1-2 knuckle-curve to Jordan Walker.
He slugged it an estimated 425 feet into the third deck of the Western Metal Supply building behind the left field wall for his 11th homer of the year.
San Diego, which managed just 14 hits in the four-game series, missed on a chance to take an immediate lead. Bogaerts’ flyout to left stranded Merrill and Gavin Sheets after they drew walks in the first.
The Padres also left Bogaerts at third in the fourth and stranded men at second and third in the fifth on Machado’s comebacker to Leahy.
