Garcia pegs back leader Kim
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 27 - 09 - 2008

Anthony Kim's overnight lead was trimmed to one shot by Spaniard Sergio Garcia after the American completed an erratic outward nine in the second round of the Tour Championship on Friday.
Four strokes clear of the field at the start of a steamy day at East Lake Golf Club, Kim offset three birdies with three bogeys to reach the turn in level-par 35.
That left him one ahead of a red-hot Garcia, who was five under for the round after 12 holes in the final event of the PGA Tour's regular season.
South Korean K.J. Choi was a further three strokes adrift at two under after 11 holes, level with Canadian Mike Weir, also after 11, and Masters champion Trevor Immelman of South Africa, after nine.
Australian Robert Allenby held the clubhouse lead at one-over 141 after firing a six-birdie 66.
Westwood stays in front
In England, Lee Westwood stayed in pole position to retain the British Masters title by taking a one-shot lead at the Belfry in Friday's fog-disrupted second round.
Briton Westwood, who fired a two-under 70, had to wait three hours and 15 minutes for the fog to clear before he could move to six-under in his attempt to win a 19th European Tour title.
The Englishman led in the clubhouse from three players; fellow Briton Marc Warren (71), Spain's Alejandro Canizares (68) and Thai Thongchai Jaidee (68).
The early delay meant over half the 142-man field will have to return to the Belfry on Saturday morning to complete their second rounds.
India's Jeev Milkha Singh is also six-under with six holes still to play and Swede Alex Noren is five-under with four holes left.
Singh had one of three holes-in-one during the day, equalling the European Tour's record number in one round.
The Indian player had his ace at the short seventh. Earlier in the day Briton Phillip Archer also holed in one at the seventh on his way to a 68 that left him three strokes behind Westwood.
Then Alvaro Quiros of Spain, another to have to finish off on Saturday, aced the short 12th.
Leader Westwood, though, was hoping for a good night's sleep and a long lie-in after his efforts. After a mixed bag of holes that left him one-over for the day to the turn, the 35-year-old Briton went up a gear with three successive birdies from the first. He dropped a shot at the fourth but a fine seven-iron into the short seventh, his 16th hole, left Westwood with just a three-foot putt for birdie and the clubhouse lead.
Graeme McDowell is in danger of missing the cut after a second-round 75 to finish three over, a shot better than the projected cut.
Jang shares lead
In Alabama, Jeong Jang, who has five top-three finishes this season but no victories, put herself in contention again on Thursday with a share of the lead at the Navistar LPGA Classic.
Jang was among a trio of players topping the leaderboard after one round of the $1.4-million event.
Jang and Americans Jane Park and Jill McGill all shot seven-under-par 65 on the Senator Course at Capitol Hill, taking a one-shot lead over Briton Janice Moodie and Cristie Kerr. In all, 50 players were under par after one round of competition.
Park had a chance to finish the afternoon alone in first as she moved to eight-under through 14. A bogey at 17 saw her join the tie.
Behind Moodie and Kerr, world No.1 Lorena Ochoa of Mexico was in a group sharing sixth place two shots behind the leaders on 67.
