BATTLE CREEK, Mich. -- Belgiums Laura Gonzalez Escallon won the FireKeepers Casino Hotel Championship on Sunday for her first Symetra Tour title when rain washed out at the final round.Play began on time Sunday at 7:30 a.m., but was halted at 9:25 a.m. Rain and lightning continued through the early afternoon and play didnt resume.The 25-year-old Gonzalez matched the Symetra Tours 36-hole scoring record of 15-under 129 at Battle Creek Country Club, shooting a 65 on Friday and a course-record 64 on Saturday to open a six-stroke lead over Ally McDonald.It feels awesome, but it hasnt sunk in yet because I was just trying to focus on my round, said Gonzalez Escallon, who was at her host familys house off the seventh hole when she got the news. When I got the email, I called my mom and told her the good news because she has been waiting and it is late at home in Belgium. Im really happy about the win.Gonzalez Escallon earned $15,000 and a spot in The Evian Championship in September.Its amazing to get to go to Evian, it will be my first ever LPGA event and it is a major, the former Purdue player said. I also get to go home so that is a good thing. I was trying to find an excuse to go home and now I have one. I will go to Evian and then enjoy a week off at home and then fly back to finish the Symetra Tour season.Gonzalez Escallon jumped from 38th to 16th on the money list with $31,053. The top 10 at the end of the season will earn LPGA Tour cards.My dream is to play on the LPGA so it would be great to get into the top 10 instead of going through Q-School, which is a really tough week, Gonzalez Escallon said. If I can play good golf the rest of year, it would help going to the LPGA knowing I can play consistently.McDonald also earned a spot in The Evian. She birdied her final hole Saturday for a 66.McDonald is second on the money list with $71,728. Madelene Sagstrom leads with $123,678. Shoes NZ Nike .

LOUIS -- The New Orleans Saints looked like a team playing out the string.GP3 champion Esteban Ocon has been named reserve driver at Renault in 2016, but remains part of the Mercedes family. The Frenchman had previously been associated with the Enstone team and made his F1 debut in Practice One at the 2014 Abu Dhabi GP.Im absolutely delighted to be part of Renaults return to Formula 1 as a works team, said Ocon. At the end of last year, I signed up for the long term as part of the Mercedes-Benz junior programme, and Im very proud that I have now also been chosen to help the Renault Sport Formula One Team this year.Not just as a French driver with a French team, but also because I can build on what I started a few years ago with the guys and girls at Enstone. Despite winning the European F3 title in 2014, outscoring Max Verstappen by 67 points, Ocon lost his Lotus backing for 2015. Facing a year on the sidelines, he was then picked up by Mercedes, signing a contract that could see him become a fully-fledged Mercedes-Benz driver in the future.That option was taken up in November, with Ocon handed an undefined role with the Mercedes F1 team, with a suggestion he could share testing duties with Pascal Wehrlein.Ocon is expected to take a Mercedes DTM seat in 2016, however, nothing has been decided yet, and despite partnering another manufacturer he remains part of the Silver Arrows. My career has been managed by Mercedes since the end of 2014 and I became a full Mercedes junior at the end of last season, after winning the GP3 Series, Ocon added. Even in my new role as third driver for Renault Sport Formula One Team, I remain a long term member of the Mercedes family, and I have to thank Mercedes and Renault ffor making this possible.ddddddddddddhere are some opportunities out there to race as well this season but nothing has been decided yet. It is an incredible opportunity to be guided and supported by Toto (Wolff) and Mercedes - and to have the honour of representing a brand like Renault in Formula 1. Frederic Vasseur will head up Renaults return to F1 and knows Ocon well having fielded the Frenchman in his title winning GP3 campaign.Vasseur has a history of developing young talent, which in addition to benefitting Kevin Magnussen, Jolyon Palmer and Ocon, may also help young Britons Oliver Rowland and Jack Aitken who have become part of Renaults new driver academy.Notable drivers guided by Vasseur at ARTNico Rosberg - 2006 GP2 championLewis Hamilton - 2007 GP2 champion and 2005 F3 Euroseries ChampionNico Hulkenberg - 2009 GP2 champion and 2008 F3 Euroseries championJules Bianchi - 2009 F3 Euroseries championStoffel Vandoorne - 2015 GP2 championValtteri Bottas - 2011 GP3 championRomain Grosjean - 2007 F3 Euroseries champion and 2008 GP2 Asia Series ChampionPaul di Resta - 2006 F3 Euroseries championSebastian VettelEsteban GutierrezThe first Barcelona test starts on Monday February 22 and the Sky Sports F1 Digital team will be providing live commentary from dawn until dusk on all four days of both Barcelona tests while Sky Sports News HQ will also deliver live updates from trackside.
