(AP) — After nearly withdrawing fol- lowing his sister's death Saturday night, Kenny Perry won the SAS Championship on Sunday for his first Champi- ons Tour title. Kay Perry died Saturday night after a long fight with breast cancer. She died two years to the day after the death of their mother, Mildred Perry, also to cancer. ''When I heard the news last night, it was a long night,'' Perry said. ''I didn't sleep a lot, thought about just getting on a plane and heading home. ''But Dad was great. He called me, he said, 'Son, you just need to go out there and represent Kay today.''' He did, making a 30-foot eagle putt on the par-5 17th en route to a 2-under 70 and a one-stroke victory over Jeff Sluman and John Huston. ''I was very calm all day. I had no nerves,'' Perry said. ''Normally, I'm a little jumpy, a little jittery, tense. Today, I was just — I felt like I was on a low. I was really down. I was kind of depressed, and my swing was in rhythm. It wasn't fast, and I had great control of the golf ball.'' The 51-year-old Perry, a 14-time winner on the PGA Tour winner, had an 11-under 205 total — the highest winning score in tournament history — on the Preston- wood Country Club course. Sluman also finished with a 70, and Huston shot a 71. Perry rallied after making a double-bogey 7 on the 12th hole after hitting his approach shot into the water. He also had a double bogey in the first round. ''Normally, I get pretty frustrated and pretty upset over that type of deal, and they get to me inside,'' said Perry, the fifth first-time winner this year. ''I was able to just plod along, just play along.'' ''I really wasn't thinking a lot about winning. I just wanted to make her proud and somehow, you know, the eagle fell in the bottom of the cup on 17, and I felt like I know they are watching. I felt like I had some help up there. Excited to win, but I'd rather have my sister back.'' Sluman said the weather made play difficult for the second straight day. ''We're not used to that cold and blustery kind of north, northwest wind, and it makes the golf course set up extremely difficult,'' Sluman said. ''It was at least 2 to 2 1/2 shots tougher (than Friday). (And) with no humidity, it really dries the greens out, and the greens were, from Friday until today, 3 feet faster.'' Russ Cochran, the 2010 winner, had a 71 to finish fourth at 8 under, a stroke ahead of Fred Couples (70). Tom Lehman (72) tied for 12th at 4 under. He main- tained his lead in Charles Schwab Cup race and the $1 million payday. Mark Calcavecchia tied for the low round of the day with a 68 to tied for 10th at 5 under. He picked up 53 points and remained in second place in the Schwab Cup race, 398 points behind.

Then Gore, who did- n't start because of a sprained right ankle, pow- ered into the end zone, and former Eagles kicker David Akers converted the decisive extra point. Smith thought the stay in Youngstown, where the team's owners have roots, was a key to the win. ''I thought it was great,'' he said. ''It helped us focus on football ... like a small training camp, spending a lot of time with teammates, and I think that means some- thing.'' The victory meant plenty to Akers, who basically was INT Continued from page 1B Raiders trailed 24-10 by the time Campbell had his next snap. Oakland settled for a field goal deep in New England territory late in the third quarter after the officials overturned a pass interference call against the Patriots. New England answered with another touchdown drive capped by Brady's 4- yard pass to Deion Branch, which made it 31-13 and gave him 275 career TDs, tying Vinny Testaverde for eighth place all-time. Brady also equaled Peyton Manning's record of 13 straight games with at least two TD passes. Darren McFadden, the NFL's leading rusher, had 75 yards on 14 carries.

He made a 37-yard field goal, missed from 44 and had one blocked from 45. But he left the Linc with a huge smile on his face. ''To hit the last extra point, it's like hitting a 50- yard field goal,'' Akers said. ''It still counts as one, but it puts you up.'' Vick couldn't have been more down. He wore a padded pink glove on his right hand all game, and wore a heavy frown after it. ''It's shocking. It's frus- trating,'' Vick said, adding the Eagles need to have a ''gut check. ''Some people have it and some people don't, but we're going to find out three games, needed to do much less against the Raiders. He completed 16 of 30 passes as New Eng- land did plenty of damage on the ground with Ridley rushing for 97 yards and Green-Ellis adding 75. Buoyed by a sellout crowd and big-game atmosphere, the Raiders came out fast, with Camp- bell completing four of five passes for 57 yards in the opening drive to set up a 28-yard field goal by Sebatsian Janikowski. But that emotion also hurt the Raiders, with Sey- mour being called for unnecessary roughness for throwing Brady to the ground after a delay of game penalty and a face- mask later on a TD drive. ''They said they blew the whistle,'' Seymour said. ''But it was so loud I never heard the whistle. That's still no excuses. We have to play better.''

Akers' replacement, rookie Alex Henery, missed from 39 and 33 yards in the final period. Philadelphia has been outscored 36-0 in the fourth quarter of its last three games, all losses. The team so lauded for its free agency haul after the lockout is in last place in the NFC East. San Francisco's come- back began after Akers' field-goal attempt was blocked and Henery soon after made a 32-yarder for a 23-3 lead.

Morgan got wide open over the middle for his TD. Then Henery began missing kicks after Vick set him up with big plays. Philadelphia had 13 plays of at least 15 yards, including a 61-yard bomb to DeSean Jackson that was wasted when Henery missed from 39 yards. Davis' touchdown catch brought the Niners within six points late in the third quarter. When Henery failed from 33 yards, it was the final opening the 49ers needed. Gore had a 21-yard run on the 77-yard drive that ended with his powerful surge into the end zone. He finished with 127 yards rushing. Brewers bash, bunt their way to 2-0 NLDS lead MILWAUKEE (AP) — Jonathan Lucroy drove in the go-ahead run with a squeeze and the Milwaukee Brewers showed they could bunt as well as bash, breaking away from the Arizona Diamondbacks 9-4 Sunday to take a 2-0 lead in their NL division series. Ryan Braun hit a two-run homer and fellow slugger Prince Fielder added an RBI single for Milwaukee. But the brawny Brewers also excel at the little things, especially Lucroy. Lucroy's safety squeeze keyed a five-run sixth inning, and right after Diamondbacks reliever Brad Ziegler became angry about a balk call. That's when rookie Milwaukee manager Ron Roenicke put on a play — he'd already seen Lucroy successfully bunt a few times this season. The Brewers now hold a 2-0 lead in a postseason series for the first time in franchise history. Game 3 is Tuesday at Arizona, and Milwaukee will go for a sweep when Shaun Marcum takes on rookie Josh Collmenter.

Losing to Busch had to Busch made his move off the final restart with 43 laps, leaving Johnson and the rest of the field in the mirror. Johnson's reign was con- sidered by some to be on the ropes after he finished 10th and 18th in the first two Chase races. But his strong result on one of his favorite tracks moved him only 13 points behind the leaders and feeling confident. He has five straight top 10s, includ- ing one win, at Kansas. ''Giving up a win by not getting a good restart, I'll think about it tonight,'' John- son said. ''But big-picture wise, we'll take it.'' The winning move against Johnson made the victory more meaningful for Busch. Two of the sport's top drivers have developed a long-simmering rivalry over the years. It reached a boiling part at Richmond when Busch called Johnson a ''five-time chump.'' Recycle The Warmth Yes, I can help! Who do you know that needs a coat? Yourself? Children? Grandchildren?
