ANTALYA, Turkey -- Thorbjorn Olesen won the Turkish Airlines Open on Sunday, securing the biggest payday of his career after nearly throwing away the seven-shot lead he took into the final round.The 92nd-ranked Danes lead was reduced to a single shot at one stage thanks to a brilliant scoring burst from David Horsey of England.But Olesen responded with vital birdies on the 12th, 14th and 15th on his way to a closing 69 to finish 20 under par and claim the first prize of nearly $1.2 million.Olesens form in Turkey is surprising, given he made the cut at just four of his last 13 events. His last win was at the Dunhill Links Championship in October 2015.Horsey and Chinas Li Haotong shared second place on 17 under after matching rounds of 65, with Austrias Bernd Wiesberger two shots further back in fourth.No player has ever squandered a seven-shot lead after 54 holes on the European Tour, with Martin Kaymer the most recent to lose a six-shot advantage at last years Abu Dhabi Championship.But that looked a distinct possibility once Horsey fired five birdies to race to the turn in 29 and Olesen three-putted the ninth to card just his fourth bogey of the week.The gap was briefly down to one when Horsey two-putted from long range for a birdie on the par-five 12th, with Olesen finding a greenside bunker with his approach to the same hole.Olesen came up eight feet short with his recovery from the sand but crucially holed the putt to restore his two-shot lead and then produced a superb tee shot on the par-three 14th to set up a tap-in birdie.Horsey closed the gap to two shots once more with a birdie on the 15th, only for Olesen to do likewise in the group behind after pitching to four feet.And when Horsey three-putted the 16th after leaving himself with a severely breaking birdie putt, Olesen could afford to drop a shot at the same hole on his way to a hard-fought fourth European Tour title. David Pastrnak Jersey . Newcastle dominated in the early stages but City weathered the storm and then raised its game in extra time. Negredo broke the deadlock from close range after a simple move in the 99th minute before Dzeko took the ball round goalkeeper Tim Krul to seal the victory in the 105th. David Backes Bruins Jersey . The home side created most of the chances but struggled to break down Braunschweigs resilient defence, resulting in the Bundesligas 1,000th scoreless draw. http://www.thebostonbruinshockey.com/chris-wagner-hockey-jersey/ . The Redskins announced Monday that the quarterback who led the team to the Super Bowl championship in the 1987 season will serve as a personnel executive. Zdeno Chara Bruins Jersey .C. -- After a listless first half, the Washington Wizards used a big third quarter run to beat the Charlotte Bobcats Bradley Beal scored 21 points and the Wizards used a 17-0 run in the third quarter to take control of what had been a close game and beat the Bobcats 97-83 on Tuesday night. Joakim Nordstrom Bruins Jersey . Bryzgalov stopped 25 shots on Saturday in the Oklahoma City Barons 4-1 victory over the Abbotsford Heat. The Oilers signed Bryzgalov to a one-year $2 million contract last Friday after shedding payroll by dealing defenceman Ladislav Smid to the Flames. MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- There is good news for Cleveland, in that the Indians are on the verge of clinching the AL Central and the NBA champion Cavaliers open training camp this week.For now, thatll have to be enough.Beaten down by injuries and beaten again on the field, despite a statistically most-unique effort from Terrelle Pryor, the Browns are 0-3 after a 30-24 overtime loss against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. The Browns rallied from an 11-point deficit in the fourth quarter to force overtime and had a chance to win on the final play of regulation, only to see things go awry again.Whatever it takes, man, Pryor said. We have a great team here. A lot of people overlook us and talk bad about us, but I feel like our team is one of the best teams in the NFL. Weve just got to figure out how to win. We could easily be 2-1 right now.Pryor played quarterback at Ohio State, and given the Browns health woes at quarterback -- Cody Kessler is the third starter in as many games this season, after Robert Griffin III and Josh McCown got hurt in the first two weeks -- it wasnt surprising to see Pryor run some read option, which he did in the second series of the game.He did a whole lot more the rest of the way.He threw five passes. He caught eight passes. He rushed the ball four times, including one for Clevelands lone offensive touchdown of the day. He even played safety on the final play of the first half.Since the AFL-NFL merger, no player had as many throws, rushes and catches in the same game as Pryor did Sunday.ddddddddddddWhat he did didnt surprise me, Browns coach Hue Jackson said.Cleveland came into Sunday missing six starters: Griffin III, McCown, center Cam Erving, wide receiver Corey Coleman, defensive end Carl Nassib and kicker Patrick Murray -- who hurt his knee in a walkthrough on Friday.The Browns had to sign Cody Parkey on Saturday. He got on the plane with Cleveland without taking a single kick with the team. He missed three of his six field-goal tries Sunday, including a 46-yarder that would have won it on the final play of regulation.Dont blame him, Jackson said.Parkey blamed himself, though. He said he took 20 to 25 kicks pregame, and that should have been enough to get ready.Its my first time kicking with the snap and holder here, Parkey said. Its not an excuse, I have to make every kick regardless. They seemed to be pulling left on me.They were -- all three of his misses were to the left, one off the upright.Kessler completed 21 of 33 passes for 244 yards, after a week where the rookie immersed himself in the playbook. Hes the 26th starting quarterback since 1999 for Cleveland, and might be the first one this season to escape a game well enough to play in the next one.We made a great to come back and give ourselves a chance at the end, Kessler said. It hurts losing. I hate losing. ' ' '
