Chacarra wins in India for Race to Dubai lead and Vijay Singh wins on PGA Tour Champions at 63

NEW DELHI (AP) — Eugenio Chacarra won the DP World India Championship by two strokes on Sunday to maintain a late-season surge that has lifted the Spanish golfer atop the Race to Dubai standings on the European tour.

After a third place at the French Open and then second place at last week’s Spanish Open, Chacarra got his third win of the 2026 season by completing a 9-under 63 early Sunday and then closing with a 70 to finish on 21-under par at Delhi Golf Club.

Chacarra jumped ahead of Patrick Reed in the season-long Race to Dubai that will culminate next month and crown the European tour’s top player of the year. Chacarra is in better form than both the American and Rory McIlroy, the other realistic contender for the title.

Reed (69) tied for 23rd and McIlroy (74) tied for 42nd.

SHANGHAI (AP) — Ruoning Yin of China made a 4-foot birdie putt on the 16th hole to break out of a tie with third-round leader Hye-Jin Choi, closing with a 4-under 68 for a one-shot victory Sunday in the Buick LPGA Shanghai.

Yin won for the seventh time on the LPGA, and her second time in the last two months. She finished at 11-under 277 at Sheshan International.

Choi closed with a 71. Amy Yang had a 72 to finish third.

Yin pulled ahead on the short par-4 16th, then birdied the par-3 17th to build a two-shot lead that allowed her to play conservatively down the par-5 18th. Choi made birdie on the 18th.

Yin is the seventh player with multiple wins on the LPGA this season.

CARY, N.C (AP) — Vijay Singh became the second-oldest player to win on the PGA Tour Champions on Sunday when the 63-year-old Fijian closed with a 3-under 69 for a two-shot victory in the SAS Championship.

Singh made four birdies in a six-hole stretch around the turn to get in front of a crowded leaderboard and then left the mistakes to everyone else while closing with six straight pars to win by two over Ernie Els.

Bernhard Langer is the only other player older than Singh to win on the 50-and-older circuit. Langer won at age 67, and the German has five other Champions Tour titles at 64 or older.

A 34-time winner on the PGA Tour, it was only his sixth PGA Tour Champions title and first in just over three years. Singh did not have a top 10 finish all year until winning Sunday.

CAIRO (AP) — Iran-backed Houthi rebels struck Yemeni government forces with ballistic missiles on Monday, killing at least 53 soldiers at a military camp in one of the deadliest attacks since a resurgence in fighting this summer, Yemeni military officials said.

The attack wounded an additional 200 recruits at the military camp in the southern province of Shabwa, the provincial government there said. The rebels acknowledged targeting the camp.

The fighting between the Houthis and Yemen’s Saudi-backed government forces is a widening front in the Iran war that began in February. The escalation shattered a 2022 ceasefire deal that largely stopped fighting in Yemen’s civil war.

The Houthis have put their growing military capabilities on display on multiple fronts in recent weeks, repeatedly striking Saudi Arabia’s main international airport hundreds of miles (kilometers) away and seizing territory inside Yemen near a key shipping chokepoint.

Iran and its allies in Lebanon and Iraq provide expertise, training and sophisticated weapons to the Houthis, according to U.N. and other experts. Iran denies arming the Houthis, which would violate a U.N. embargo.

The provincial government in Shabwa said in a statement that the death toll is preliminary and may rise. It said the recruits were receiving training to be part of internal security forces.

“This bloody, treacherous attack targeted new recruits in the training and preparation phase and is considered an extremely critical military escalation and a blatant aggression on the security and stability of Shabwa province,” the statement said.

It called on Yemen’s president, the Saudi-led coalition and the government to expedite air defense and early warning systems to reinforce Shabwa’s capabilities.

The head of Yemen's ruling Presidential Leadership Council, Rashad al-Alimi, promised a “firm response” and said the attack reflects the Houthis’ "approach of resorting to cowardly terrorist attacks whenever they face pressures or their Iranian-backed sabotage plots falter.”

One Yemeni military official said the missiles struck while recruits were lining up in formation for a training session. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media.

On Sunday, an airstrike blamed on Saudi-led forces killed at least nine people in Yemen’s rebel-held northern province of Saada, the Houthi-run Health Ministry said. Five children and two women were killed in the attack, one of several that killed or wounded more than 30 people over the weekend, according to the rebels.

There was no immediate comment from Saudi Arabia.

The Houthis, a Shiite religious and political movement rooted in northern Yemen, are increasingly attacking Saudi Arabia because it supports Yemen’s internationally recognized government in the civil war. The Sunni kingdom, which has long feared the emergence of a well-armed ally of Shiite Iran on its border, joined the war in 2015 after the rebels seized much of northern Yemen, including the capital, Sanaa.

The rebels have been targeting Saudi airports and oil and military facilities. The headquarters of Saudi oil giant Aramco has been struck as well in a blow to the world’s top oil exporter.

The rebels also recently seized more territory along Yemen’s Red Sea coast and near the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, a crucial shipping alternative to the Strait of Hormuz.

The Saudi-led coalition this month launched a major military offensive to dislodge the rebels from that strategic perch and retake the territory.
