Chalmers keeps Woods waiting
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 14 - 11 - 2011

born Greg Chalmers shot a three-under-par 69 to win his second Australian Open by one stroke Sunday as Tiger Woods's quest to end his two-year title drought came up just short.
Chalmers was made to sweat in the clubhouse as his compatriot John Senden went close with a 35-foot birdie putt at the 18th that would have forced a playoff but ultimately his total of 13-under was enough to secure the Stonehaven Cup.
A day shy of the second anniversary of his 95th and last title win at the 2009 Australian Masters, Woods came from six shots back overnight to hit a 67 and finish in third place on 11-under.
Defending champion Geoff Ogilvy shot the best round of the day with a 65 to take a share of fourth place on 9-under with compatriots Adam Scott (68), Jason Day (74) and Nick O'Hern (72) as well as American Nick Watney (72).
Singapore Open set
for Monday finale
Filipino Juvic Pagunsan and Spain's Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano will return on Monday to complete a sudden-death playoff for a Singapore Open title that the weather seems determined to wash out.
Both men finished a dramatic final round of a tournament already reduced to 54 holes tied on 14-under par on Sunday, but two attempts at a sudden-death playoff failed under the leaden and stormy skies over Sentosa Golf Club.
Matthew leads by three shots
Scotland's Catriona Matthew fired her second consecutive four-under-par 68 to seize a three-shot lead after the third round of the Lorena Ochoa Invitational at Guadalajara, Mexico, Saturday.
Matthew, 42, rolled in five birdies to reach a 11-under 205 total at Guadalajara Country Club.
Norway's Suzann Pettersen was in second after making birdie on the last hole for a one-under 71, and defending champion I.K. Kim (70) was another stroke back along with second round joint leader Sweden's Anna Nordqvist (73).
American Juli Inkster, who was tied for the lead at the tournament's halfway stage, dropped to a five-under 211 total after battling through a sore elbow in the third round to shoot a 75. Michelle Wie, who won this event two years ago, was tied for 12th overall at one-under after a 74.
