JACKSON, Miss. -- Cody Gribble and his caddie talked a ton during the final nine holes of his impressive run to a Sanderson Farms Championship victory. Very little was about golf.They talked about Gribbles Texas Longhorns and their big win in football over Baylor on Saturday. They talked about the Chicago Cubs and the World Series. They discussed their upcoming trip to Las Vegas.Anything to keep Gribbles mind off the incredible run he was making.I knew I was in a good spot and I knew I was playing well, Gribble said. Its hard not to sit there and look at the scoreboard, look where youre at and how youre doing.The small talk worked. Gribble finished with a 7-under 65 -- which included five birdies on a spectacular back nine -- to turn a tight fight into a four-stroke victory and his first PGA Tour title.The 26-year-old rookie started the day a stroke behind playing partners Chris Kirk and Luke List.Gribble had two birdies on the front nine to stay in contention, and then he ran off birdies on Nos. 11, 13, 15, 16 and 17. He finished at 20-under 268.Gribble looked as if he might have trouble just making the cut at the Country Club of Jackson after an opening 73. He bounced back with a 63 in the second round -- one shy of the course record --?to jump into contention and followed it up with a 67 on Saturday.On Sunday, Gribble started slowly but picked up steam on an unseasonably hot day in Jackson, where the temperature pushed 90 degrees. He made a short birdie putt on 11 and then hit a difficult downhill 18-foot putt for birdie on 13.Then he was rolling, making three more birdies on 15, 16 and 17 to pull away.Kirk and List each shot 70 to tie for second with Englands Greg Owen (68).Cody played unbelievable, List said. He definitely deserved to win. I was happy to scramble around and get a couple under out of it.Kirk won the tournament in 2011, back when it was called the Viking Classic and was played at nearby Annandale Golf Club. He was in contention again at the Country Club of Jackson after shooting a 65 in the third round, but nobody was able to keep up with Gribbles torrid pace on Sunday.It was definitely impressive watching Cody play that back nine, Kirk said. I wish that I could have given him a little better run. I was just a little bit off, I guess.Gribble played in college at Texas and is the second member of the schools 2012 national championship team to win a PGA Tour event. The other is Jordan Spieth.Gribble obviously has a ways to go to match the accomplishments of Spieth, who is among the worlds best players, but the Sanderson Farms win is certainly a good start. He earned $756,000 and 300 FedEx Cup points, plus exempt status on the tour through the 2018-19 season.The four-stroke win was the second-largest in tournament history, trailing Frank Conners five-stroke win in 1988.

It was obvious that something was about to happen, even to the referees because the fourth lines were on to start. SAN FRANCISCO -- Madison Bumgarner will pitch his All-Star Game two days before his National League teammates Sunday when he leads the San Francisco Giants against the Arizona Diamondbacks in the final game of the traditional first half of the baseball season.Making padding the clubs best-in-baseball win total a higher priority than a chance for the staff ace to pitch in Tuesdays nationally televised exhibition of the stars, Giants manager Bruce Bochy broke the news to Bumgarner on Wednesday.Your priority is here, the veteran manager explained earlier this week. You want these guys to have a chance to pitch in the (All-Star Game). But youre here to win and maybe win a championship.You cant change your rotation around so they can pitch in it.In fact, Bochy has done the opposite. He has fiddled with his rotation this week to push Bumgarner ahead of schedule, assuring he would miss Tuesdays showcase.The Giants took advantage of Thursdays day off to skip right-hander Albert Suarez in the rotation. If Bochy hadnt made the move, Bumgarners next scheduled start wouldnt have been until the Giants first game after the All-Star Game next Friday.That said, the four-day break will allow Bumgarner to pitch both Sunday and next Friday.Bochy followed the same script in 2014, pitching Bumgarner on the Sunday before the All-Star Game and again in the first game after the break. He won both games, 8-4 over the Diamondbacks and 9-1 at Miami.In between, he was ineligible to pitch in the All-Star Game, handing his spot over to teammate Tim Hudson.This time, Bartolo Colon of the New York Mets will take the place of Bumgarner, who will nonetheless suit up for the ggame and be a part of the pregame introductions.ddddddddddddThe Giants were in a much tighter battle with the Los Angeles Dodgers for the NL West title in 2014. San Francisco went into the break a half-game up, only to see its rival eventually take the division by six games.Bochy had the last laugh, however. He was able to arrange his rotation so that Bumgarner could start the wild-card playoff game at Pittsburgh, which the Giants won en route to the World Series title. Bumgarner wound up being the Series Most Valuable Player.The Giants (56-33) walked off the field Saturday seven games up on the Dodgers (49-40), who hadnt taken the field for their night game against the San Diego Padres.The Dodgers have won the last three NL West titles.The Diamondbacks (38-51) are 11 games farther back, so far that theyve begun what could be a sell-off before the July 31 trade deadline.Arizona dealt closer Brad Ziegler to the Boston Red Sox during Fridays 6-2 loss to the Giants, accepting two Class A prospects in return.Even though general manager Dave Stewart assured the trade isnt the case of us throwing in the towel, manager Chip Hale admitted he understood the logic.Its just something that has to happen, he said of his last-place club, which also lost to the Giants 4-2 on Saturday. We should have played better and these things wouldnt be happening.One of just three NL teams assured of losing at least 50 games before the All-Star break, the Diamondbacks will send right-hander Archie Bradley (3-4) to the mound to duel Bumgarner.
