  "account": "Wyndham Clark secured a three-shot victory in the BMW Championship at the end of a grueling day of golf at Bellerive Country Club in St. Louis. Clark started the day five shots behind the leader, but he birdied his last three holes to finish at even-par 70, bringing his total to 17-under 263. His win marks his third success of the year, including a major championship and a FedEx Cup playoff event. In the LIV Golf season finale, Jon Rahm clinched his third consecutive season points title and second team crown in a row at the Indianapolis event. Rahm finished with a 7-under 63, trailing by one stroke behind Michael La Sasso, the 2025 NCAA individual champion of Mississippi. Meanwhile, Miyu Yamashita set a new LPGA Tour record with a nine-stroke victory at the CPKC Women's Open in Edmonton, Alberta. The petite Japanese player scored a 4-under 66, followed by a 23-under 257 for a tournament record total of 257. Sei Young Kim matched the tournament record of 257 in the 2018 Thornberry Creek LPGA Classic. In other notable events, Scott Jamieson claimed his first European Tour title in 14 years at the Nexo Championship in Scotland, while Steven Alker won the Rogers Charity Classic in Calgary, beating Y.E. Yang in a playoff.",
