Park seals wire-to-wire victory in Singapore
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 09 - 03 - 2015

SINGAPORE — Nerveless Park Inbee sealed a wire-to-wire victory at the HSBC Women's Champions Sunday in a clear statement of her intent to win back the No. 1 ranking from Lydia Ko.
On a day of iced towels and umbrellas, the South Korean stayed cool in the Singapore heat for two-under-par 70 and a two-stroke win over Ko as she finished the week bogey-free.
Park's scores of 66, 69, 68 and 70 and aggregate of 15-under 273 were too much for Ko, 17, golf's youngest ever No. 1 who was unable to erase her two-shot overnight deficit.
World No. 3 Stacy Lewis put her ball into a tree on 12 and then found water at the last before finishing on 72, four shots back in third at par-72 Sentosa Golf Club. Park's progress was serene and she needed only birdies on seven and 11 before winning as she toasted her 13th LPGA win and first of the year.
Fisher Jr. wins 1st Euro title
Trevor Fisher Jr. finished with a 64 to win the Africa Open by five shots Sunday for his first European Tour title.
The South African had nine birdies and a single bogey in his final round to finish on 24-under 264 overall, well clear of England's Matt Ford (67) in second.
Eduardo de la Riva, Jorge Campillo and Morten Orum Madsen were a further three shots behind Ford at East London Golf Club.
Fisher Jr. had a two-shot overnight lead over Ford, who stayed in contention in the final round until a two-shot swing at No. 9, where Fisher made birdie and Ford made bogey.
The result continues South Africa's dominance at the Africa Open. Home players have now won eight straight editions of the tournament.
Holmes in control
In Florida, American J.B. Holmes had a five-stroke lead at the end of the third round of the WGC-Cadillac Championship Saturday as he and compatriot Dustin Johnson both made holes-in-one on the par-three fourth hole.
After Holmes aced the 227-yard hole, Johnson, playing two groups behind, followed suit 15 minutes later to the delight of the crowd at Trump-Doral.
The green at the fourth hole on the Blue Monster course is surrounded by water to the front and right but that appeared to only focus the two Americans, who both found the hole with seven irons.
Holmes is in control, however, after shooting 70 to move to 11-under for the tournament, a bogey on the 18th coming after the 32-year-old birdied the previous four holes.
Johnson also bogeyed the par-four 18th hole as he made 69 to keep within reach of Holmes while Bubba Watson, the two-times Masters winner, was tied with Johnson, five strokes behind Holmes after shooting a 70. World No. 1 Rory McIlroy was 10 shots back after his even-par round of 72 featured four bogeys.
Saturday's best round came from American Bill Haas who shot a seven-under 65. Ryan Moore briefly had a share of the lead before Holmes' late birdie run. Moore had an eagle on the par-four 16th, where he drove the green with a 293-yard tee shot and recovered from his triple-bogey on the third to make 74 and sit six shots back of Holmes.
South Africa's Louis Ooosthuizen (67) and Sweden's Henrik Stenson (72) kept themselves in the chase, heading into Sunday's fourth round, seven shots back.
Britain's Lee Westwood, Spain's Sergio Garcia, Australian Adam Scott and American Webb Simpson were all tied in eighth place, eight strokes behind Holmes. — Agencies
