As much as Kevin Streelman enjoys the back nine at TPC River Highlands,, even he didnt think he what he accomplished Sunday was possible. Cody Eakin Jersey . Streelman birdied the last seven holes to win the Travelers Championship by a stroke, shooting his second straight 6-under 64 to finish at 15-under 265. "Its probably my favourite nine holes on the PGA Tour," Streelman said. "But you cant plan for something like that to happen. It just kind of falls into place." He broke the tour record for consecutive closing birdies by a winner of six set by Mike Souchak in the 1956 St. Paul Open. He matched the tournament record with a 7-under 28 on the final nine. "I had 10 one-putts in a row," Streelman said. "Thats something Ive definitely never done before." Also the Tampa Bay Championship winner last season, the 35-year-old Streelman missed the cuts in his previous four starts on tour. "I didnt have too many expectations coming here," said Streelman, who earned $1.12 million for the victory. Sergio Garcia and K.J. Choi tied for second. They each shot 67. Aaron Baddeley was fourth at 13 under after a 69. Streelman was 1 over for the day before starting the birdie run on No. 12. The streak reached five with a 37-foot putt at No. 16, and he capped it by hitting a wedge to 9 feet and rolling in another putt at No. 18. "I knew when that putt fell on 16 that something kind of special was happening," Streelman said. Streelman said he hasnt focus on golf exclusively lately, trying to spend more time with wife Courtney and 6-month-old daughter Sophie. "I was thinking about her (Sophie) on those last couple of putts. I was thinking, You know what? If these go in, great. If not, great. Shes going to love me either way and we have a nice family vacation coming up either way," Streelman said. Streelman said a 10-foot putt for birdie on No. 9 gave him a boost of confidence that he could finish with a flourish. Garcia has six top-10 finishes in 10 PGA Tour starts this season, and won the European Tours Qatar Masters in January. "At the end of the day he played really, really well," Garcia said about Streelman. "I feel like I played quite nicely and it just wasnt my time." For the sixth straight year at the Travelers the player who held the 54-hole lead was unable to win. Ryan Moore was one stroke ahead after three rounds, but closed with a 71 to tie for fifth at 12 under. Second-round leader Scott Langley birdied his first three holes and briefly pulled into the lead at 14 under. He, too, finished with a 71 to tie for 11th at 10 under. Miguel Angel Carballo became the second player to make three eagles in a round on the PGA Tour this season as part of a 63 early Saturday. He finished at 9 under. Patrick Rodgers, the former Stanford star making his pro debut, shot a 70 to tie for 46th at 4 under. Ken Duke, the winner last year, had a 68 to also finish at 4 under.

"Well over 50 (per cent)," coach Claude Noel said Tuesday after practice, where the Jets were looking at ways to cut down the scoring chances theyve been giving away.Aaron Rodgers worst NFL regular-season game — two interceptions, a fumble that became an outcome-sealing safety, zero touchdown passes, only 17 completions on 42 attempts — slowed his Green Bay Packers trot to a playoff spot.Might have cost him some MVP votes, too.It wasnt my best day, Rodgers said, by any stretch of the imagination.Rodgers, who had three picks all season until Sunday, and his pass-dropping receivers had a rough time in a 21-13 loss at Buffalo that ended the Packers five-game winning streak and dropped them to 10-4, the same record as Detroit in the NFC North. With Green Bay facing a bad Bucs team next week, while the Lions take on the dysfunctional Bears, that divisions champion should be decided in Week 17, when Detroit is at Green Bay.Not much else is very clear in the NFC post-season picture, although Arizona (11-3) clinched a berth when Philadelphia lost 38-27 to NFC East leader Dallas on Sunday night, and San Francisco (7-7) was eliminated from contention with its 17-7 loss to reigning Super Bowl champion Seattle. That ends the 49ers streak of three consecutive conference title game appearances.Theres a lot more clarity — not to mention consistency — in the AFC.New England (East), Denver (West) and Indianapolis (South) all sealed division title repeats with victories, and defending North champion Cincinnati is in first place, too.At training camp we made some goals, receiver Reggie Wayne said after the Colts edged the Texans 17-10. Taking care of the division was our first goal, so we were able to check that one off.In case you missed it, here are the other top topics after the NFL seasons 15th Sunday:JOHNNY ROOKIE: Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel received a rude welcome to the NFL in his first start, passing for only 80 yards, throwing a pair of interceptions, getting sacked three times — and being taunted with his trademark finger-rubbing money gesture — in Clevelands 30-0 loss to Cincinnati. No one was a harsher critic of the rookie than Manziel himself, who said this about his second interception: Whether youre playing in a Pop Warner league or if youre 6 years old, playing in the driveway,, you cant throw that ball. Pierre-Edouard Bellemare Jersey. BUFFALOS Defence: The Bills have turned in back-to-back defensive gems. They held Rodgers without a TD pass one game after shutting out Denvers Peyton Manning, who had thrown for at least one score in each of his previous 51 games. Buffalos defence, led by Mario Williams, might be the leagues most underrated unit. We went up against a Hall of Famer last week, safety Aaron Williams said. Why couldnt we do it again this week?ROAD COWBOYS: Dallas led host Philadelphia 21-0 early in the second quarter, fell behind 24-21, then pulled away to improve to 7-0 on the road, with at least 30 points in each of the past six away wins. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie was in Cowboys owner Jerry Jones box, getting national TV face time while helping celebrate one of Dez Bryants trio of TDs.FIGHT!: For the second week in a row, a brawl broke out during an NFL game. This time, it was Titans defensive tackle Jurrell Casey swinging at the head of Jets quarterback Geno Smith that sparked a melee involving plenty of other players on a pair of teams that each came into the game at 2-11. Last week, the Panthers and Saints fought.REDSKINS FOLLIES: Its always something with the Redskins, who dropped to 3-11 by losing their sixth straight, 24-13 at the Giants, in a game that hinged on a wild sequence at the end of the first half. With Washington ahead 10-7 and — after wasting time between plays, then making an odd choice to accept a penalty — Robert Griffin III appeared to score on an 8-yard touchdown run by diving into the end zone on the halfs last play. But it was ruled he juggled the ball. Its a touchdown in every game that Ive ever seen, RG3 said, but they decided that it wasnt today. The call prompted coach Jay Gruden and some players to charge at officials to complain; receiver Santana Moss was ejected; two penalties were enforced on the second-half kickoff; the Giants recovered an onside kick that led to a field goal.
