CANADIAN ROOKIE WINS $1million FIRST PRIZE ON US PGA TOUR

KNOX'S  FINISH MODERATE BUT HE WAS

STILL SEVEN AHEAD OF HARRINGTON

Russell Knox finished T35 but still had Padraig Harrington (T73) behind him in the final totals at this week's US PGA Tour, the $4million Sanderson Farms Championship at Jackson Country Club, Mississippi, played in the shadow of the WGC-HSBC tournament of stars at Shanghai.
Knox had scores of 72, 70, 73 and 69 for 284.
Harrington, a shadow of the major-winning force he once was, shot 70, 69, 76 and 76 for 291.
England's Greg Owen was the highest placed finisher from this side of the Atlantic, thanks to a fine final round of 66 for 281 and a share of 22nd place.
Canadian rookie Nick Taylor scored his first success on the US PGA Tour and won the $1million first prize by a couple of strokes with a 16-under-par total of 272. He had scores of 69, 70, 66 and 67.
