Brian Campbell won for the second time this year on the PGA Tour, both in a playoff, when he closed with a 4-under 67 and beat Emiliano Grillo with a par on the first extra hole Sunday in the John Deere Classic in Silvis, Ill.

It extended the win-or-bust season for Campbell, who won the Mexico Open in a playoff in late February. He has finished out of the top 30 every tournament except for his two victories.

This one might be enough to get him into the British Open, depending on how high up he moves in the world ranking published today, traditionally used as the alternate list.

Campbell appeared to have control of the tournament with three birdies in a four-hole stretch to start the back nine. But he fell back with a double bogey into the trees on the 15th, and it was a wild scramble to the finish.

Grillo, who also closed with a 67, took the lead when Campbell made double bogey, only to three-putt for bogey on the 16th.

Campbell, one of the shorter hitters on tour, blasted a 3-wood to 18 feet for a two-putt birdie on the par-5 17th and narrowly missed a 25-foot birdie on the 18th. He was the first player to post at 18-under 266.

Grillo got up-and-down for birdie on the 17th, holing an 8-foot putt, and caught a bad break on the 18th when his drive settled into a divot. He hit wedge to just inside 40 feet and two-putted for par to join Campbell at 266.

Englishman Daniel Brown was in tears after going through an “out-of-body experience” in winning the BMW International Open by two strokes in Munich on Sunday, days after the death of a close friend.

The No. 170-ranked Brown shot a bogey-free 6-under 66 in the final round to capture his second European tour title, after the ISPS Handa World Invitational in 2023.

Brown walked off the green and started to cry after making his sixth birdie of the day at the par-5 18th.

“I lost a friend at home last weekend,” Brown said, before pausing and holding back more tears. “It’s for him.”

Brown said that was his motivation to win at Golfclub München Eichenried.

“The last two days I kept thinking about him,” he said. “I tried not to get too emotional in the process. I’m not really too sure what happened today. All day really was like an out-of-body experience. He was there with me and it made it a little bit easier.”

Brown started the day with a one-shot lead over countryman Jordan Smith, birdied four of his first six holes, and picked up two more birdies coming home to finish on 22-under par for the week.

Smith shot 67 and was alone in second place.

MOTORSPORTS

Shane van Gisbergen completed a sweep on the Chicago Street Course, winning the NASCAR Cup Series race on the tricky downtown circuit.

It was van Gisbergen’s second victory of the season and his third career Cup win. The Trackhouse Racing driver also won in Chicago in 2023, becoming the first driver to take his Cup Series debut since Johnny Rutherford in the second qualifying race at Daytona in 1963.

Ty Gibbs was second, and Tyler Reddick finished third.

It was a dominant weekend for van Gisbergen, a three-time champion in Australia’s Supercars. The 36-year-old New Zealand native won the Xfinity Series race from the pole Saturday. He also was the top qualifier for the Cup race.

Lando Norris survived an incident-packed race in the rain to win Formula 1’s British Grand Prix in Silverstone, England, and cut the gap to his teammate and title rival Oscar Piastri.

Norris won his home race for the first time after Piastri had to serve a 10-second penalty for sharp braking behind the safety car while in the lead.

“This is a dream, winning at home. It’s beautiful,” Norris told the team over the radio. “Thanks for the memory. I’ll remember this more than anything.”

NBA

The Lakers’ summer league team built a double-digit lead in the first half but lost to Golden State, 89-84, in the first game of the California Classic on Saturday at the Chase Center.

The Lakers led by four points at halftime but were outscored 30-17 in the third quarter and never regained the lead.

Cole Swider paced the Lakers, shooting 6 for 8 from 3-point range on his way to a game-high 24 points and a team-best eight rebounds. Swider, entering his fifth season in the NBA, played seven games for the Lakers as a rookie out of Syracuse.

Cal State Fullerton product Jackson Rowe (13 points, eight rebounds), USC and Temecula Rancho Christian High product Isaiah Mobley (13 points) and Blake Hinson (12 points) paced the Warriors.

In the overall standings, Pogacar is 4 seconds behind Van der Poel. Vingegaard is another 2 seconds back.
