South Korean teenager Noh Seung-yul demonstrated nerves of steel to win the Malaysian Open by one shot Sunday after a magical final-hole birdie. The 18-year-old floated a superb chip shot from behind a hospitality marquee to within four feet as his four-under-par 68 edged out compatriot KJ Choi, who closed with a 69. Noh finished with a winning total of 14-under 274 in Kuala Lumpur as the joint overnight leaders, Thai Kiradech Aphibarnrat and Britain's Rhys Davies, slipped back with 71s. Noh has now secured Tour cards in Japan, Asia and Europe after winning the $2 million co-sanctioned Asian and European Tour event. Noh stepped on to the final tee with a one-stroke lead but hooked his drive badly before hitting his second shot on to the cart path running along the practice putting green. With Choi having just birdied the 18th, Noh calmly chipped over a greenside bunker to leave himself a short putt for victory. Denmark's Soren Hansen shot a 70 for a share of third with Kiradech and Davies, while Thailand's Thongchai Jaidee, who began the final round one off the lead, fell away with an even-par 72. Villegas in command Camilo Villegas emerged from a shaky back nine with a three-stroke lead after shooting a three-under 67 at the third round of The Honda Classic Saturday. The in-form Colombian, joint overnight leader with American Anthony Kim, charged out of the blocks with four birdies on the front nine, before stumbling with three bogeys to fall back into the pack at the PGA National Championship course. Villegas recovered with two birdies, however, to finish with a total of 11-under, three strokes ahead of Fiji's Vijay Singh and Australian Nathan Green. Anthony Kim, who held a one-stroke lead with Villegas overnight, tumbled down the leaderboard with a three-over 73 after a double-bogey on the par-four sixth and three dropped shots from his last three holes. Villegas, who came third at last month's WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship and tied for eighth at the Phoenix Open that finished Sunday, is chasing his third PGA Tour title after winning back-to-back tournaments in 2008. Webb wins 7th Aussie Masters Karrie Webb won her seventh Australian Ladies Masters title Sunday, closing with a course-record 11-under 61 for a six-stroke victory. Webb, a stroke ahead of defending champion Katherine Hull and South Korea's Lee Bo-mee entering the final round, finished at 26-under 262 on the Royal Pines course to match the tournament record she set in 1999. Hull and Lee shot 66s to tie for second in the event sanctioned by Australian Ladies Professional Golf and the Ladies European Tour. Lee did not have a bogey in the tournament. South Korea's Seo Hee-kyung (66) was fourth at 19-under, and compatriot Ryu So-yeon (70) followed at 15-under. American Amanda Blumenherst, the leader after the first two rounds, shot a 70 to tie for eighth, 13 strokes behind Webb. Webb equaled Tiger Woods' total as winner of the same tournament – Woods has won the WGC Bridgestone Invitational seven times. The PGA Tour says its record is held by Sam Snead, who won the Greater Greensboro Open eight times. Gary Player won the Australian Open seven times, and the LPGA Tour says its record is five, held by three players – Annika Sorenstam (twice), Mickey Wright and Se Ri Pak.
