ST. ANDREWS, Scotland: Martin Kaymer shot a final round 6-under 66 to win the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship by three strokes Sunday. His 17-under total of 271 over the Old Course at St. Andrews secured Kaymer's third straight victory at a strokeplay event, following wins in the USPGA Championship and KLM Dutch Open. He became the first European player to achieve that feat since 1989 when Nick Faldo won the European PGA, British Masters and French Open titles. Tiger Woods had three straight victories in America in 2006. Danny Willett of England finished second after he shot a 67 to reach 14-under. Fellow Englishman Lee Westwood finished with a share of 11th place with 281 and missed a chance to replace Woods at the top of the rankings. Yang wins SK Open Yang Yong-eun, the South Korean who became Asia's first major men's golf champion by winning last year's PGA Championship, won his second OneAsia title of the year after shooting a closing five-under-par 66 for a surprise two-stroke victory in the Korea Open Sunday. Noh Seung-yul started the final day with a five-stroke lead and was 10 clear of Yang, but the 19-year-old struggled to a 79 to share fourth place after a dramatic final day at Woo Jeong Hills Country Club. Yang won the 300 million South Korean Won ($260,000) prize after finishing with a four-under total of 280, two ahead of 20-year-old Kim Bi-O, who shot 73, and Choi Ho-Sung, who carded a 71. Choi Jin-ho (70) tied with Noh at one-under, while 18-year-old amateur Han Chang-Won (71) was sixth at even-par. Kerr fires into lead In Alabama, US veteran Cristie Kerr fired a five-under par 67 Saturday to seize a three-stroke lead after the third round of the LPGA Navistar Classic. Despite a double bogey at the par-4 15th and a closing bogey at 18, Kerr finished 54 holes on 17-under 199, three strokes better than South Korean Na Yeon Choi, who had a 70 Saturday, and Australian Katherine Hull, who shot 67. Kerr birdied the par-3 second and began a run of three birdies in a row at the fourth, then closed the front nine with back-to-back birdies to make the turn in six-under 30. Her surge continued with birdies at the par-4 12th and par-3 13th before she stumbled over the last holes. Hull birdied three of the last four holes to lift herself into contention with a bogey-free round while Choi took a bogey at 18 to settle for a share of second place. Japan's Mika Miyazato and South Koreans Hee Young Park, Haeji Kang and Pak Se-ri shared fourth on 203, one stroke ahead of American Wendy Ward and Sweden's Anna Nordqvist.
