One 72nd-hole eagle forced a playoff on the Web.com Tour. Another last-hole eagle notched a victory on the PGA Tour Champions. Oh, and a golden boy returned to the circle of titleists with a marvelous, 71st-hole birdie.

Great week across the tours, but slow down! Howzeabout we just keep calm and mash on? (not ready to retire that phrase just yet).

PGA Tour: AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am goes to Spieth

Bang.

Absolutely perfect.@JordanSpieth now leads by 4 with 1 to play.#QuickHits pic.twitter.com/yhY5C1IPO8

The last time Jordan Spieth had a sizable lead was a certain Sunday in 2016 at a certain tournament held at a certain little club in Georgia. That one didn’t end so well. Spieth did win later that year in Fort Worth, but the question of holding a lead loomed until this week. On Sunday, Spieth carried a six-stroke advantage into the final round of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am

Along came Kelly Kraft, the 2011 U.S. Amateur champion, with five birdies in six hole on the front nine. A sixth birdie on the 11th moved him to within three of Spieth. Unfortunately for the challenger, his momentum was exhausted and he closed with seven straight pars, good for solo second. Dustin Johnson, the reigning U.S. Open champion, closed with 68 for the third spot, one behind Kraft.

As for Spieth, the 23-year-old and two-time major champion was on cruise control the entire day. The birdied the second and made a passel of pars until the penultimate hole, where hit the green at the famous par-three. He made the 30-foot putt for birdie and secured a four-stroke win, his ninth on the PGA Tour. The sixth-ranked golfer in the world now returns his attention to that little course in Augusta as he prepares to regain the green jacket he first won in 2015.

If your memory stretches back five years you’ll remember the story of Melissa Reid‘s mum, who was killed in a car crash while watching her daughter compete in Germany in 2012. Joy Reid would have turned 67 this week while daughter Melissa was competing in Australia in the first event of the 2017 Ladies European Tour schedule.

The Thirteenth Beach Golf Links in Barwon Heads greeted all the golfers with windy conditions (gusting up to 30 miles per hour), forcing them into British Open mode. None was more suited than Reid, who took the third-round lead and looked suited to the title. The fourth round began poorly for the golfer from Derby, who made a seven on the par-five second to drop from the lead. Chasing her down was Germany’s Sandra Gal, who signed for a stellar 69 on day 4 to match Reid’s total of 16-under par and force a playoff.

The 18th green was not kind to Reid on this day. In regulation, the Englishwoman reached the par-five hole in two, but then she three-putted. She did the same on the first extra hole, allowing Gal to extend matters. Finally, on the third go-round in overtime, Reid made a three-foot putt to eliminate Gal and claim her sixth career European Tour title.

European Tour: Willett gives way to surprise winner at Maybank Championship

Reigning Masters champion Danny Willett made only two bogeys over the first three days of the 2017 Maybank Championship, assuming the tournament lead along the way. When he posted five of the duds on Sunday, a change in the leaderboard was predictable. Would it be Bernd “Mr. Nine Straight Birdies” Wiesberger? How about Chinese sensation “Super Bowl Li” Haotong? Or unheralded American David Lipsky? Nope, none of the three.

It was perhaps the coldest player in the field, Fabrizio Zanotti, who seized the tiger trophy. Zanoti began the 2017 season with three missed cuts, so a final-round charge of 63 was the last thing on anyone’s mind, including the Paraguayan. Seven birdies in 17 holes weren’t enough for the man from Asuncion, so he eagled the par-five 18th for good measure, finishing at 19-under. Lipsky had a chance to force extra holes with a 15-foot birdie putt of his own, but it stayed out of the hole and Zanotti had his second-career European Tour title. Wiesberger was one stroke back of Lipsky, in third alone.

PGA Tour Champions: McCarron flat-out steals Allianz Championship

Kenny Perry and Carlos Franco had spent a good while in preparation for a playoff. The two were tied for the lead at 16-under with few golfers left to challenge them. Then along came Scott McCarron with a final-hole eagle, and Franco and Perry headed home with second-place money.

Perry had stuffed an approach into the final green some 15 feet beyond the hole, but his try at eagle and the outright lead lipped out in excruciating fashion. Franco had made a bunker save for birdie at the last to match Perry.

Web.com Tour: Tracy rockets to top at Club Colombia Championship

Ethan Tracy, to win the Club Colombia Championship …

Never a doubt. ???? pic.twitter.com/UyVuR8zQlp

If you lower your score each day from Thursday through Sunday, chances are pretty strong that you will find your way to the top of the leaderboard. In the case of Ethan Tracy of the U.S., he made it all the way to first place at the Club Colombia Championship.

Tracy began the day in seventh place, but a 6-under 65 sent him soaring. A birdie-eagle finish tied him with Roberto Diaz of Mexico, whose Sunday 64 vaulted him over 10 golfers and into a playoff. Diaz and Tracy played the par-five 18th hole, site of the latter’s hole-out heroics at the end of regulation, two times. On the second go-round, Tracy knocked down a 20-foot birdie putt to claim his first Web.com Tour title and the second of the young season for the former Arkansas Razorback.

Overnight leaders Andrew Landry and Brandon Harkins were unable to forge enough birdies to remain in first position. Landry struggled all day and dropped to T-17 after a 75. Harkins was in the lead for most of the day, but bogeyed three of his final six holes to finish one agonizing shot out of the playoff.
