HOCKEY

ECHL: Mathew Santos and Patrick Shea each scored twice to lead the Maine Mariners to a 6-4 win over the Newfoundland Growlers at Cross Insurance Arena.

Santos, coming off a five-point game Saturday night, opened the scoring just 2:38 into Sunday’s game. Shea and Santos then struck just 39 seconds apart in the final minute of the first period to make it 3-0.

Maine stretched its lead to 6-0 after two periods on goals by Keltie Jeri-Leon, Alex Kile and Shea. Jeri-Leon scored short-handed for the second straight game.

AUTO RACING

FORMULA ONE: Defending series champion Max Verstappen overtook Charles Leclerc three laps from the end of the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix for his first win of the season and 21st of his career.

The race under floodlights was held two days after an attack on a nearby oil depot by Yemen’s Houthi rebels.

Leclerc was aiming for back-to-back victories after winning the season-opener in Bahrain from pole position last Sunday, but Verstappen overtook him on Lap 47 of 50. Carlos Sainz Jr. finished third, while seven-time F1 champion Lewis Hamilton could manage only one point in 10th place after starting 15th.

GOLF

PGA: Chad Ramey won the windswept Corales Puntacana Championship in the Dominican Republic for his first PGA Tour title, beating Ben Martin and Alex Smalley by a stroke.

Ramey closed with a 5-under 67, completing a two-putt par on the par-4 18th after Martin missed a 6-foot birdie try that would have forced a playoff.

EUROPEAN TOUR: Scotland’s Ewen Ferguson had a chip-in eagle and a birdie on his final three holes to secure victory at the Qatar Masters.

Ferguson’s closing 70 took him to 7-under 281 for the tournament – one shot ahead of Chase Hanna.
