PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. — With plenty of sunlight and no drama, Phil Mickelson finished off a 7-under 65 to win the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am on Monday and match the tournament record with his fifth victory.
Mickelson had a three-shot lead over Paul Casey with two holes to play when it was too dark too finish Sunday night because of delays from rain and a hail storm. Casey’s only hope was for Mickelson to make a mistake, and there was little chance of that.
Mickelson hit 7-iron to 8 feet on the par-3 17th and played it safe down the par-5 18th, making a 6-foot birdie for a three-shot victory.
Casey birdied the 18th for a 71 to finish alone in second, and he won the pro-am portion of the tournament.
ARE, Sweden — Alexis Pinturault finally transferred his consistent winning form on the World Cup circuit into a gold medal at a major championship.
The French skier produced the second-fastest slalom leg in the Alpine combined at the world championships on Monday to rise from 24th place after the downhill portion and win by 0.24 seconds.
Slovenia’s Stefan Hadalin was second, and Austria’s Marco Schwarz took bronze, 0.46 behind Pinturault.
BOSTON — Boston College has signed hockey coach Jerry York to a contract extension.
The school said on Monday that the five-time NCAA champion received a multiyear deal. It did not elaborate.
York is college hockey’s winningest coach with 1,063 career victories heading into Monday night’s Beanpot championship game against Northeastern. It is his 25th season in Chestnut Hill. He has won four NCAA titles at his alma mater and also led Bowling Green to the 1984 championship.
BOSTON — Frederic Gregoire scored twice and Harvard added a pair of empty-net goals to beat Boston University, 5-2, on Monday night in the Beanpot consolation game.
Reilly Walsh and John Marino had two assists apiece, and Michael Lackey stopped 24 shots for the Crimson (13-7-3).
Patrick Curry and Gabriel Chabot scored and Vinnie Purpura made 34 saves for the Terriers (11-13-3) in the annual matchup of the area’s four college hockey powers. BU has won the most Beanpot titles — 30 of 66 — but it has the longest current drought of any of the four schools, last winning in 2015.
Boston College played No. 14 Northeastern in the championship later Monday night.
After a scoreless first period, Gregoire gave Harvard the lead midway through the second. The Crimson made it 2-0 with about four minutes left in the second when Walsh, knocked off his skates in the slot, managed to slide the puck over to Jack Badini, who beat Purpura.
