WILLIAMSBURG, Virginia (AP) ― Cristie Kerr watched her short winning par putt fall on the second hole of a playoff against Suzann Pettersen, hugged her caddie, a few players who stayed around to watch and had one more hug she had waited a long time to give.

“Where’s my dad?” Kerr said during the celebration Sunday on the 18th hole at Kingsmill’s River Course.

Her dad, Michael Kerr, was on his way ― as fast as his motorized cart would take him.

“I rarely get nervous when she plays,” he said. “I’ve seen the good, the bad and the ugly. This was the most nervous I have been. It wasn’t just the playoff. It was the last three holes. Honestly, I was in the bar drinking, which I don’t normally do.”

Kerr’s victory in the Kingsmill Championship, the 16th of her career and third in the event, was the first one with her dad present.

A Vietnam veteran and career school teacher who has had both knees replaced, he stayed with her throughout her round, then took the cart to the bar, figuring he couldn’t maneuver well enough to keep up in the big crowd.

Wells Fargo Championship

CHARLOTTE, North Carolina (AP) ― One phone call changed his plans. One shot changed a whole lot more for Derek Ernst.

Six days after Ernst received a call that he was in the Wells Fargo Championship as the fourth alternate, the 22-year-old rookie found himself one shot out of the lead and 192 yards away from the flag on the 18th hole, the toughest at Quail Hollow in the cold, wind and rain of a grueling final round.

Ernst choked up on a 6-iron and hit a draw that landed 4 feet from the hole for one of only four birdies on the closing hole Sunday.

The birdie gave him a 2-under 70 and tied him with David Lynn of England, who also had a 70. And it turned out to be no fluke. Returning to the 18th in the playoff, as the rain started coming out harder, Ernst hit a 3-iron to about 15 feet left of the flag that set up his stunning victory.
