OMAHA, Neb. -- Kenny Perry is getting the hang of these majors. He only wishes it had happened sooner. Perry completed a masterful performance with a 7-under 63 on Sunday that gave him a five-shot win over Fred Funk in the U.S. Senior Open. The 52-year-old Kentuckian won his second straight senior major with a flurry. His 64-63 finish and the 10-shot deficit he overcame after 36 holes set tournament records. His 13-under total of 267 matched the lowest four-round score. "It all came together. Why, after all these years?" Perry said. "Here I am, (almost) 53 years old, and it finally came together for me." On the regular tour, Perry won 14 times but was best known for collapses in the 2009 Masters and 1996 PGA Championship. Those memories haunted him again in May when he squandered a three-shot lead with six holes to play in the Senior PGA Championship and lost by two to Kohki Idoki. Just as he did two weeks ago in the Senior Players Championship at Fox Chapel, Pa., where he won by two shots over Fred Couples and Duffy Waldorf, Perry came from well behind to win in the hills and heat at the par-70 Omaha Country Club. "This is by far the biggest tournament I ever won," Perry said. "I lost the playoff at the Masters and the PGA playoff. I didnt get the job done. Now to have a USGA title, its an Open, its our Open, its what the players play for. "To finally get it, even though its a Senior Open, I still regard it as a very high honour." Perry, who started Sunday two shots behind leader Michael Allen, was in front to stay after he birdied the second and third holes and Allen bogeyed the third. Perrys 63 matched Allens Friday score for best round of the tournament and was the best ever in a U.S. Senior Open final round. "He put it to us," Funk said. "Six under yesterday, seven today, back-to-back. Its kind of what he did two weeks ago at Fox Chapel. He just smoked the field on the weekend. He just lapped us." Perry made par over the last three holes. A wide smile crossed his face as he tapped in for par on 18. He dropped his putter, raised both arms and waved his visor to the gallery. Perry is the ninth player to win consecutive senior majors. He said he wouldnt go for three in a row. Hes staying home to rest rather than play the British Senior Open in two weeks. Perry had six birdies and one bogey on his way to a 5-under 30 on the front nine Sunday. He started a run of four straight birdies when he blasted out of the sand to within 5 feet on No. 6. By the time he made the turn, he was three shots ahead of the fading Allen. Things momentarily got interesting when Rocco Mediate made a 10-foot putt on No. 15 for his third straight birdie to get within two shots. Over on the par-5 14th, Perry was buried in the left rough. He chipped into the fairway and was left with 130 yards to the pin. He knocked his wedge within a foot, yelling "Be right" as his ball plopped onto the green and rolled toward the cup. After the tap-in, another birdie on No. 15 and Mediates bogey on 16, Perrys lead was up to five and he was well on his way to his fourth win since he joined the Champions Tour in 2010. Perry said Mediates late run helped him keep his focus. "I was like, Oh, oh, weve got to keep going. Weve got to put the hammer down and work on out, " Perry said. "Sometimes when you get leads, you kind of hang onto that lead. I didnt want that cushion. I wanted to push it on out there. I wanted a five-shot lead coming down to the last hole." Funk, the 2009 champion, was runner-up for the second straight year and third time since 2008. He was tied with Perry after the third round but couldnt make much headway, shooting a final-round 68. Mediate (66) and Corey Pavin (67) tied for third at 7-under 273. The 54-year-old Allen needed acupuncture treatments for a pinched nerve in his neck to be able to play the last three rounds. His five-shot lead through 36 holes was the largest in tournament history. He followed his course-record 63 on Friday with a pair of 72s that left him in fifth place. "Todays round was probably the greatest round Ive ever played," Perry said. "I just was spot on with all my irons. I putted like Ben Crenshaw. Its just been a remarkable month. Ive had a great run."

"It doesnt get any better than that," Giambi said. "Im speechless." The Indians are roaring toward October. Giambi belted a two-run, pinch-hit homer with two outs in the ninth inning to give Cleveland a shocking 5-4 win over the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday night, keeping the Indians up with the lead pack in the AL wild-card race. It might come as news to the NBC Sports Network studio crew that spent part of Wednesday nights post-game show panning Pekka Rinnes effort this season, but the Nashville Predators goalie isnt the reason theyre off to a 4-5-3 start.Rinnes save percentage of .922 is 15th in the league, which isnt exactly Carey Price territory but sure beats February of last season, when he was 37th among 43 qualified goalies in save percentage. Whats more, Rinne was in vintage form Tuesday night, kicking out 33 shots in a 3-1 win over Ottawa.That included one of the seasons best saves anywhere, his stop on Bobby Ryans wrister six minutes into the game that appeared headed for the nets open half until Rinne kicked it out with his left pad.Between he and Carey, theyve got to be among the best goaltenders in the league, said defenseman P.K. Subban, Prices teammate in Montreal until an offseason trade landed him in Nashville. When hes on, hes on, and hes been on all season.The Predators will ask Rinne to be on again Thursday night when they host the St. Louis Blues in game three of a four-game homestand. Its the first meeting between the Central Division rivals, who are both in chase mode behind the Chicago Blackhawks.St. Louis is at a scheduling disadvantage in this one, as it played Wednesday night and fell 2-1 in overtime to Chicago in a game that reeked of a playoff classic instead of an early November contest. The Blues (7-4-3) scored with 2:11 left in regulation to force the extra period, but were denied the extra point 225 seconds into overtime on Artemi Panarins wrister as a power play ended.ddddddddddddAn inability to score has hampered St. Louis in its last eight games. Its 3-4-1 in that span, a record which one might consider flattering since its tallied just 13 times.Weve got to find ways to score, defenseman Alex Pietrangelo said. If we can keep getting to the net and causing more traffic, were going to score more goals.Pietrangelo took advantage of bodies in front of Chicago goalie Corey Crawford on the tying goal, as Jori Lehtera screened Crawford well enough for him to not get a bead on the shot. It caromed off Crawford and trickled into the net.Otherwise, it was another night of flail to no avail for the Blues. Vladimir Tarasenko epitomized that, as he failed to elevate the puck on a Grade A chance near the end of a third-period power play and was robbed of a game-tying marker.As for Nashville, its also having trouble scoring goals, as it only has 31 in 12 games. But it did pot three Tuesday night against Ottawas Craig Anderson, beating him with its first two shots of the second period.We had a lot of chances, defenseman Roman Josi said. We played a really good game for three periods and got rewarded.The Predators could see a familiar face in the other net. Former backup Carter Hutton might get the start in this one for St. Louis, as Jake Allen saved 28 shots in the loss to Chicago. ' ' '
