Golf Continued from A5 Both made pars on the 18th in the playoff, with Riley saving par from a front bun- ker. Neither looked to be in great birdie position on the 16th until Burns’ putt caught the left edge and went 180 de- grees around the cup before falling in the back side. Riley hit a strong pitch needing to hole it to extend the playoff and missed long. Justin Thomas (70) and Matthew NeSmith (71) fin- ished a shot out of the play- off. Also Sunday: EUROPEAN TOUR/SUN- SHINE TOUR: JOHANNES- BURG, South Africa — Shaun Norris of South Africa lost a four-shot lead in the final round and then rallied at the end to close with a 2-under 70 to hold off Dean Burmester in the Steyn City Championship for his first European Tour title. Burmester stormed into the lead with a birdie on the par-5 sixth and then an eagle on the par-4 seventh, and stretched his lead to two shots with a birdie on the 10th. Norris answered with three birdies on his next six holes, and they were tied go- ing to the 17th. Norris made a fourth birdie on the back nine as Burmester took dou- ble bogey, and the three-shot swing gave Norris some breathing room going to the last. Norris finished at 25-un- der 263 for his 10th world- wide title. Burmester closed with a 69. The tournament also was Women’s Continued from A5 Two double-digit seeds in the Sweet 16 already matches the record that’s been ac- complished a few times. And there’s a chance for a few more to win Monday to break the mark when the regional semifinals field is completed. Creighton was able to pull off its win thanks in part to sophomore Lauren Jensen, who transferred from Iowa after her freshman year. She scored 19 points, including a 3-pointer with 12 seconds left that gave the Bluejays the lead for good. “I’ve gotten the question a lot,” Creighton coach Jim Flanery said. “‘How is Lauren going to feel today, what’s Lau- ren going to play like, da da da da?’ Those last few minutes had to be magical and special, and we’re super proud of her and we’re super proud that she’s part of our program.” While Creighton needed last-minute heroics from Jensen, South Dakota took it right at Baylor and never let up. The Coyotes’ 14-point road win was the largest by a 10-seed over a No. 2 accord- ing to STATS. Here are a few other tidbits from Sunday’s games: Showing up An average of 6,449 fans came to first-round games this year, including a sellout crowd of 14,382 at Carver Arena in Iowa. The Hawkeyes also sold out their second-round game against Creighton. “To get that many people into a gym to watch women’s sports, I think that’s huge,” Iowa center Monika Czinano said. sanctioned by the Sunshine Tour. KORN FERRY TOUR: BROUSSARD, La. — Carl Yuan of China won the Chiti- macha Louisiana Open for his first Korn Ferry Tour title, beating Peter Uihlein with a 12-foot birdie putt on the first hole of a playoff. Yuan closed with a 6-under 65 to match Uihlein at 14-un- der 270 at Le Triomphe Golf and Country Club. Uihlein shot a 70. Jose de Jesus Rodríguez (68) and Trevor Werbylo (70) were a stroke back. OTHER TOURS: Fatima Fer- nandez Cano of Spain won the Carlisle Arizona Women’s Golf Classic in Mesa for her second career Epson Tour victory. She shot an 11-under 61 at Longbow in the third round and closed with a 70 to finish at 17-under 271. As an LPGA Tour member and non-member of the Epson Tour, Fernandez Cano isn’t eligible to qualify for the Race for the Card. Dani Holmqvist (66), Sofia Garcia (68) and Laura Restrepo (72) were three strokes back. ... Former Women’s British Open cham- pion Georgia Hall closed with a 1-under 71 for a five- shot victory in the Aramco Saudi Ladies International on the Ladies European Tour. Kristyna Napoleaova of Czech Republic and Johanna Gustavsson each shot 70 to tie for second. ... Harrison Crowe, a 20-year-old Austra- lian amateur, shot a 4-under 67 and held on for a one-shot victory over Blake Windred in the New South Wales Open on the PGA Tour of Australasia. With crowds expected to be high in the remaining sec- ond-round games, the atten- dance is on pace for the most in the opening two rounds since the 2004 season when the average was nearly 6,700 a game. Holding form It wasn’t all about the up- sets Sunday, with No. 1 seeds South Carolina and Louisville advancing to the Sweet 16. The Gamecocks continued playing stellar defense, hold- ing Miami to just 33 points in a 16-point win. The 54 points allowed by South Carolina in the first two rounds of the women’s NCAAs is 17 fewer than any other team has al- lowed in its first two games. “There’s a nastiness to us on that side of the basketball,” Gamecocks coach Dawn Sta- ley said. “It wins basketball games for us,” Saying goodbye Texas and the NCAA Tournament are saying fare- well to the Longhorns’ home court at the Frank Erwin Center, also known as “The Drum.” Sunday’s game was the last one at the 45-year-old build- ing, which is being closed as Texas moves to new arena just a few blocks away. Texas has won eight consecutive tournament games at the Er- win Center and is 27-9 over- all there. The Longhorns hadn’t lost an NCAA Tourna- ment game at home since the first round in 2009. “It was an honor for me to play there,” Texas freshman Rori Harmon said. In all 72 games had been played at that site — tied for third-most of any arena in NCAA women’s basketball history.

Continued from A5 EAST REGION Wells Fargo Center, Philadelphia, Friday-Sunday The Peacocks (21-11) will face No. 3 seed Purdue. This group of New Jersey toughs won’t be intimidated. “Everybody keeps saying we can’t do that, we can’t do that, we don’t have this and we don’t have that,” coach Shaheen Holloway said. “We got heart. That’s what matters.” Two of the college game’s biggest brands, No. 8 North Carolina (26-9) and No. 4 UCLA (27-7), will square off in the other semifinal. First-year coach Hubert Davis’ Tar Heels are the hot- test team in the tournament, having won eight of nine after their rout of Marquette and overtime win over defend- ing champion Baylor.

Jeffrey Phelps/aP Iowa State’s Aljaz Kunc reacts during the second half of a second-round NCAA college basketball tournament game against Wisconsin on Sun- day in Milwaukee. Iowa State won 54-49. limit by double-digit seeds Ver- mont and New Mexico State. The Razorbacks struggled of- fensively in both games but their defense has been nails. The other West game pits sec- ond-seeded Duke (30-6) against No. 3 Texas Tech (27-9). A hard- earned 85-76 win over Tom Izzo and Michigan State sends Mike Krzyzewski west to his record 26th Sweet 16. The Red Raid- ers, with first-year coach Mark Adams, made it past the second round for the first time since their run to the 2019 national championship game. SOUTH AT&T Center, San Antonio, Thursday-Saturday No. 11 Michigan (19-14) will face second-seeded Villanova (28-7) in a rematch of the 2018 national championship game won by the Wildcats. Like Saint Peter’s, the Wolverines are a pretty good story, too. They underperformed in the regular season, coach Juwan Howard was suspended five games for a postgame dust-up with Ohio State and going one- and-done at the Big Ten Tour- nament made for a nervous Se- lection Sunday. Here they are in a fifth straight Sweet 16 after rally- ing to beat Colorado State and then revving up in the second half to knock out third-seeded Tennessee. No. 5 Houston (31-5), de- spite having been bitten hard by the injury bug this season, just keeps rolling along under Kelvin Sampson and will play No. 1 Arizona. It’s the Cougars’ MIDWEST United Center, Chicago, Friday-Sunday No. 1 seed Kansas (30-6) will face a physical challenge against No. 4 Providence (27- 5), which took care of business against South Dakota State and blew out Richmond. Kansas got all it could handle from ninth-seeded Creighton in the second round and is in the Sweet 16 for the first time since 2018. The game features an in- triguing matchup of big men in the Jayhawks’ David Mc- Cormack and the Friars’ Nate Watson. The other Midwest semifinal pits two double-digit seeds: No. 11 Iowa State (22-12) against No. 10 Miami (25-10). The Cyclones, who won just two games last season, are in for the first time since 2016 under first-year coach T.J. Ot- zelberger. They’ve given up just 103 points in two games — 49 in their upset of Wisconsin, the Badgers’ lowest total since 2018. Miami’s 79-61 takedown of No. 2 Auburn puts the Hurri- canes in a regional semifinal for the third time under Jim Larrañaga, who would love to recapture the magic of his 2006 George Mason team’s run to the Final Four as a No. 11 seed.
