Tiger Woods never had so much fun losing in a playoff. For the 67-year-old Bernhard Langer, it never gets old winning the PNC Championship with his son.

They all delivered a riveting show Sunday, from 15-year-old Charlie Woods making his first hole-in-one to Langer hitting the shot that ultimately mattered, an 18-foot eagle putt on the first playoff hole for his record sixth title in the tournament where everyone leaves happy.

“That was the thrill of a lifetime to be able to have that moment with Charlie, make his first hole-in-one, (daughter) Sam on the bag, just our family and friends. That’s what this event is about. It’s about bonding and family,” Woods said.

“I know we didn’t win, but it was the fact that we competed,” he said. “No one really made a mistake out there. We had to earn it, and that’s what you want to have. Hats off to Langers. They played amazing.”

Langer and 24-year-old son Jason won for the second straight year, and Langer became the only player to win the PNC Championship back-to-back with two sons as partners. He won twice (2005 and 2006) with Stefan, who caddied Sunday for his little brother.

Women’s basketball

Watkins, Bueckers clash lives up to hype >> JuJu Watkins and Paige Bueckers both showed out in a primetime matchup between two of the brightest stars in women’s basketball.

Watkins got the best of the rematch from last season’s Elite Eight that UConn won, helping No. 7 USC to a 72-70 victory over the fourth-ranked Huskies on Saturday night in front of a sold out crowd of 15,684 fans in Hartford, Conn.

Watkins said it was probably the biggest crowd she’s played in front of so far.

“I think it’s a testament to when you give women’s basketball a platform, we’re going to perform,” said Watkins, who scored 25 points. “I think tonight was an excellent game. ... It was beautiful to be a part of and I can imagine watching it, super exciting.”

The regular season win was big, but Watkins said it didn’t erase the sting of last season’s loss that ended the Trojans’ season.

“It was an Elite Eight game, clearly it weighs differently,” the sophomore sensation said. “Last year it meant a little bit more. Avenging that was important.”

Soccer

Salah sets latest record >> If this is to be Mohamed Salah’s final season at Liverpool, he is going out with a bang.

The Egypt forward scored two goals and set up two more in Liverpool’s wild 6-3 win at Tottenham on Sunday to become the first player to reach double figures for both goals and assists before Christmas in a Premier League season, stats supplier Opta said.

“I didn’t think about it before the game, to be fair,” Salah said. “But it’s something that makes me happy and proud. I just keep working hard.”

Salah moved onto 15 goals for the campaign and that’s more than anyone else, with Manchester City’s Erling Haaland the closest rival on 13.

penn state wins ncaa title >> Jess Mruzik made 29 kills with a .315 hitting percentage, and Katie Schumacher-Cawley became the first female coach to win a NCAA volleyball championship as Penn State defeated Louisville 3-1 in Sunday’s final.

The Nittany Lions (35-2) earned their record eighth national championship and first since 2014 under the third-year coach, who has led the team while undergoing treatment for breast cancer that was diagnosed in September.

Vonn touches former speed in comeback race >> Maybe it was nerves for her first World Cup race back in nearly six years. Maybe it was a bumpier course than she’s used to racing on. Maybe it was some wrong lines or angles.

Whatever it was, Lindsey Vonn took just a handful of gates this weekend to recover from a poor start and rediscover her former speed when she placed 14th in a super-G.

The 40-year-old Vonn lost time at the start of the race but then was competitive with the top-five finishers the rest of the way down.

“It took her 20 seconds to get back into it, and then she was fine,” Chris Knight, Vonn’s personal coach, told The Associated Press on Sunday as he looked back to Saturday’s race.
