NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.

The 65-year-old German began the final round with a one-shot lead and picked up an early birdie.

He is in the field next week in Rancho Mirage, California, where he gets another shot at the record.“It...

HAMPTON, Ga. (AP) — Joey Logano and Brad Keselowski gave Atlanta and NASCAR a rare clean last-lap battle.For a change there were no late wreck. No overtime. Just a clean finish between hard racers. Logano dominated early and then passed Keselowski on the final lap to win NASCAR’s race at Atlanta Motor Speedway on Sunday and end the early season domination of Chevrolet and Hendrick Motorsports.Logano won the pole and led a strong showing of three straight Team Penske drivers in qualifying, but Keselowski looked like the Ford driver to beat late in the race. Keselowski had help from Corey LaJoie, but Logano got a push from Christopher Bell that proved decisive on the final lap. “It was lane versus lane, that’s what it was, inside versus outside,” Logano said, adding it was natural to expect that conflict would inevitably lead to contact.“Yeah, because it happens just about every time,” Logano said of Cup drivers propensity to wreck late in races. Bell finished third in a Toyota ...
