Japan Golf Tour – Bridgestone Open

Koumei Oda fired a final-round, 3-under 68 on Sunday and he was able to hold off Hiroyuki Fujita and win the Bridgestone Open by one shot and move to World No. 55

Oda, who now has eight career victories on the Japan Golf Tour, finished the week at 15-under-par 269 on the Sodegaura Course at Sodegaura Country Club.

It was not an ideal start for Oda as he tripped to a bogey on No. 2, but he rebounded quickly with a birdie on No. 3 to get back to even par. Oda got into red numbers with a birdie on seven to get to minus-1.

Things remained that way when Oda rattled off seven straight pars from No. 8 before making back-to-back birdies on 15 and 16. A bogey on 17 pushed Oda back a shot, but he came through with a big birdie on the last hole, which won him the tournament.

Fujita stormed up the leaderboard with a 7-under 64, but it was not enough as he finished runner-up at 14-under 270.

Asian Tour – Venetian Open

Indian star Anirban Lahiri climbed to World No. 69 having claimed a sensational one-stroke victory at the US$900,000 Venetian Macau Open after frontrunner Scott Hend of Australia agonisingly bogeyed the last hole on Sunday.

Lahiri started the final round two shots behind overnight leader Hend and trailed by four at one stage at the Macau Golf and Country Club before rallying on the home stretch to pip Hend and Thailand’s Prom Meesawat.

Venetian Macau Open - Round FourThe 27-year-old Indian signed for a final round of five-under-par 66, which included six birdies, and a winning aggregate of 17-under-par 267. The winner’s cheque of US$162,000 raised his season’s tally to US$504,689 as he consolidated his second place on the Asian Tour’s Order of Merit and narrowed the gap on leader David Lipsky of the United States.

PGA Tour – The McGladrey Classic

Robert Streb held his nerve to win his first PGA Tour title in a playoff with fellow American Will MacKenzie and Zimbabwe's Brendon de Jonge for the $5.6 million McGladrey Classic at Sea Island in Georgia on Sunday. His win bagged him 32 points moving to 88^th in this week’s World Ranking.

As the afternoon shadows lengthened to end a day of unbroken sunshine on the Seaside Course, Streb sealed victory by sinking a four-foot birdie putt at the second extra hole, the par-three 17th, where de Jonge narrowly missed his attempt from 18 feet.

After retrieving his ball from the cup, the 27-year-old Streb removed his cap to acknowledge the cheers from the crowd before being congratulated by the burly de Jonge, who had also been bidding for his maiden victory on the PGA Tour.

PGA Tour of Australia / European Tour - ISPS HANDA Perth International

Thorbjørn Olesen romped to his second European Tour title and first PGA Tour of Australia title at the ISPS HANDA Perth International as a closing 71 gave the Dane a three shot victory over Victor Dubuisson at Lake Karrinyup.

The 24 year old, whose previous win came in Sicily two years ago, started the day three clear but saw that advantage reduced to one after a jittery start to the back nine.

But with Dubuisson setting the clubhouse mark at 14 under par, Olesen responded with birdies at the 13th and 15th to restore his advantage and claim the €198,300 prize with a 17 under par total.

“It was tough – they were not easy conditions today,” said Olesen.

“I missed a few short putts today in the middle of the round and I think that the lead got down to one shot, but I was just thinking about getting my round back to under par, keeping focussed, and seeing if I could make a few birdies coming in.

“It was a tough day but it was worth it – that walk down 18 was beautiful.”

“My driving and a couple of three woods were off line which made it tricky, but I made some great putts coming in.

“It’s been a couple of years since I won last time, so this gives me a lot of confidence and belief for the last bit of the season, this has been a great week and I’ve really enjoyed being here.”

Olesen two-putted the long third for his first gain of the day, but handed shot back at the sixth after driving into trees and running up a bogey.

Korean Golf Tour / One Asia - Kolon Korea Open

Korea’s Kim Seung-hyuk sank the putts when it mattered and waited for his closest pursuer to wilt under pressure en route to victory at the Kolon Korea Open on Monday, his second win of the season on OneAsia.

His four-day total of two-under par 282 saw him finish two shots ahead of highly rated countryman Noh Seung-yul and extend his lead in the 2014 OneAsia Order of Merit race.

A stroke ahead of amateur Ham Jeong-woo when the fourth round was halted by darkness on Sunday, Kim played patient golf on the restart and parred his five remaining holes for a closing 70 at Woo Jeong Hills Country Club.

“My game plan was just to make pars,” said the 28-year-old Kim, who won the SK Telecom Open in May. “It’s a difficult course and you really need to manage your game if you expect to win here.”

Challenge Tour – Foshan Open

Jason Palmer rounded off a wire-to-wire victory at the Foshan Open with an impressive round of 69 to win by a stroke from compatriot Ben Evans and claim a career-changing first European Challenge Tour title.

On a muggy afternoon at Foshan Golf Club, the Englishman handled the pressure with aplomb, carding four birdies to extend his advantage, before a nervy three-putt bogey at the penultimate hole made things interesting heading down the last.

His tee shot at the par five found the centre of the fairway though, and when a pin-point layup was followed by a typically precise wedge, all that was required were two putts for a 15 under par total and the title.

Palmer duly obliged, tapping in from a foot to rubber stamp a win that sees him rocket up the Rankings, thanks to a cheque for €43,594 and a certain dietary tradition he established earlier in the week.

“Absolutely - I did go to McDonalds last night, and I think I was about the 20th player in the queue,” said the 30 year old from England’s East Midlands, who climbs 31 places to 12th on the Rankings.

“I just feel so over the moon. It is a total dream come true. I set out at the start of this season and my goal was to try and win, as I have won at a lower level but never here. It might have taken me 22 events this season, but I have finally done it, and I’m ecstatic.
