Kim claims Reignwood Classic
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 03 - 10 - 2016

Kim In-kyung won the Reignwood LPGA Classic Sunday for her first victory in six years, making an eagle and a birdie on the two late par 5s to lead a South Korean sweep of the top three places.
The 28-year-old Kim closed with a 7-under 66 at Reignwood Pine Valley, rebounding from a bogey on the par-5 ninth to win her fourth LPGA Tour title and first since the 2010 Lorena Ochoa Invitational in Mexico.
Kim finished at 24-under 268, a stroke ahead of third-round leader Hur Mi-jung and 2014 winner Lee Mi-rim in the first tournament in the tour's six-event Asian Swing.
Kim made up for the bogey on No. 9 — she went for the green in two and ended up short in the water — by playing the other four par 5s in 5 under. She eagled the 16th and birdied Nos. 6, 12 and 18. She also birdied the par-4 15th in her late run.
Hur birdied five of the last six for a 70 in the round delayed 1 1/2 hours at the start because of rain and lightning. She opened bogey-bogey-birdie-bogey and parred the next eight.
Lee had a 68. She had a double bogey on No. 9, then played the back nine in 6-under 31 with an eagle on the 12th and five birdies.
China's Shanshan Feng, the 2013 winner in the event that wasn't played last year, shot a 69 to tie for fourth with Canada's Brooke Henderson(71) at 21-under.
Second-ranked Ariya Jutanugarn shot a 65 to tie for sixth at 18-under and take the lead from the idle Lydia Ko in the player of the year points race.
The tour leader with five victories, Jutanugarn had a double bogey on the par-5 sixth, then birdied eight of the last 12 holes — with birdies on the final four par 5s. The Thai player also had a double bogey on a par 5 in a second-round 75 that took her out of contention.
Bhullar ends long wait
India's Ganganjeet Bhullar ended a long trophy drought with a one-stroke victory at the Shinhan Donghae Open in South Korea Sunday for his sixth title on the Asian Tour.
The 28-year-old, who last won in 2013, carded a final round four-under-par 67 for a tournament total of 15-under 269 at the Bear's Best Cheongna Golf Club in Incheon.
Tour rookie Scott Vincent (69) of Zimbabwe and local favorite Kim Tae-woo (71) finished a stroke behind. Bhullar carded four birdies in five holes after making the turn in 34 and it took him to the top of the leaderboard at 17-under, with a four-shot advantage.
Lu wins 4 years after brain surgery
Lu Wei-chih won for the first time since surgery four years ago to remove a brain tumor, taking his home Mercuries Taiwan Masters for the third time Sunday at windy at Taiwan Golf and Country Club.
The 37-year-old Lu closed with a 2-under 70 to finish at 5-under 283, a stroke ahead of Miguel Tabuena of the Philippines. Lu has four Asian Tour victories, also winning at the course in 2005 and 2011. Tabuena matched Lu with a 70.
