Perry wins

Buick Open

Kenny Perry joined a short list of multiple champions at the 50th Buick Open.

Perry shot a 6-under 66 on Sunday to finish at 19-under 269, one shot better than Woody Austin, who blew the tournament and $900,000 by bogeying the last two holes, and Bubba Watson, who missed a 12-footer on the final green.

Vijay Singh has three victories at Warwick Hills. Tiger Woods, Julius Boros, Tony Lema and now Perry have won twice.

Perry, who won in 2001 at Warwick Hills, has 11 victories on the PGA Tour, including the Memorial earlier this month. After winning the Memorial, he stuck with his plan to not enter a U.S. Open qualifier.

Austin and Watson shot 68s. Bob Tway (65), Ken Duke (67) and Matt Jones (67) finished another stroke behind at 17 under.

Jays blank

Braves, 1-0

With his curveball diving and his fastball topping out at 96 miles per hour, A.J. Burnett made life easy on catcher Rod Barajas, and rough on the undermanned Atlanta Braves.

Burnett pitched seven shutout innings, Alex Rios drove in the only run of the game and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Braves 1-0 on Sunday.

''Today was one of those days when, where I put something down, I pretty much knew it was going to be a nasty pitch,'' Barajas said. ''Those games are the best ones to catch. You can sit back there and know your pitcher is feeling it that day. He's in the zone and whatever you call, you know it's going to be a good pitch.''

Burnett said the curve was the best weapon in his arsenal.

''It was really, really good today,'' Burnett said. ''Most of the time it is, but I didn't have to bounce many of them, it was getting to home plate and then diving.''
