The Detroit Pistons fired coach John Kuester on Sunday, four days after Tom Gores completed an agreement to purchase the team from Karen Davidson.

Kuester was 57-107 over two years with Detroit, which failed to make the postseason in consecutive seasons for the first time since missing it three straight times from 1993-95.

Detroit won its third championship in 2004, part of a six-year streak in which the team reached at least the conference finals, but the Pistons went 27-55 in 2009-10 and 30-52 this past season.

Steve Stricker, who had never finished in the top 10 in his 11 previous trips to Muirfield Village, built a big lead on the front nine and then relied on his silky putting stroke for two clutch pars to hang on for a one-shot victory at the Memorial in Dublin, Ohio.

Matt Kuchar and Brandt Jobe each closed with a 65 to tie for second.

• Brittany Lincicome made a 4-foot birdie putt on the final hole to win the ShopRite LPGA Classic in Galloway Township, N.J., for her first victory in two years.

• Bob Gilder made a 30-foot birdie putt on No. 18, then watched Mark Brooks bogey the hole to escape with a one-stroke victory in the Principal Charity Classic in West Des Moines, Iowa.

• This will mark the first time the Pittsburgh Pirates have the No. 1 pick in the first-year player draft. Regardless of who they take, the Seattle Mariners know they'll get an outstanding player one pick later in today's first round.
