European Tour – Alfred Dunhill Links Championship

Oliver Wilson produced a gutsy final round display to finally claim a maiden European Tour title and reignite his career at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship.

The 34 year old Englishman represented Europe at the 2008 Ryder Cup and was a nine-time runner-up on The European Tour between 2006 and 2009, reaching the top 50 on The Official World Golf Ranking in the process.

But a dramatic loss of form saw him lose his card at the end of 2012, and he started the week outside the top 100 on The Challenge Tour and 792nd in the world.

A second round 63 in Kazakhstan last month hinted that the talent was still there, and Wilson began the day with a three shot lead after taking command of the tournament with a 64 at Carnoustie on Thursday before pulling clear with Saturday’s 65 at St Andrews.

Returning to The Old Course for the final round, the tournament invite, who had made around €20,000 in 19 appearances across the Challenge Tour and European Tour this season, was swiftly caught by Louis Oosthuizen when he three-putted the fourth for bogey.

Japan Golf Tour – Top Cup Tokai Classic

Seung-Hyuk Kim managed a 2-under on Sunday as he rallied to win the Top Cup Tokai Classic by one stroke.

Kim played steady golf throughout his round on the West Course at Miyoshi Country Club. He birdied the sixth in the midst of posting 12 pars in the first 13 holes.

He then birdied the 14th and 16th to move to 8-under. Kim tripped to a bogey at 18, but held on to win for the first time on the Japan Golf Tour.

Hyung-Sung Kim led entering the final round, but tripped to a 2-over 74. He tied for second at minus-6 with Jung-Gon Hwang (70). In-Hoi Hur (73) finished alone in fourth at 5-under-par 283.

Asian Tour – Mercuries Taiwan Masters

England’s Steve Lewton won his maiden Asian Tour title at the US$650,000 Mercuries Taiwan Masters after closing with a one-under-par 71 and dedicated the win to his late father on Sunday.

Lewton held on to his overnight lead after posting five birdies against four bogeys for a five-under-par 283 total to win by two shots at the challenging Taiwan Golf and Country Club’s Tamsui course.

Brazil’s Adilson Da Silva and Filipino veteran Antonio Lascuna settled for a share of second place after carding identical 72s at the long-running Mercuries Taiwan Masters, which is celebrating its 28th edition this week.

Unho Park of Australia capped his best finish on the Asian Tour so far this season when he registered a 72 to take fourth place on 286 alongside 2004 Mercuries Taiwan Masters winner, Thaworn Wiratchant of Thailand.

Lewton, who pocketed US$130,000 from his victory said, “It’s been quite a tough year for me. I lost my father at the start of the year. He was diagnosed with bile cancer about two years ago and passed away earlier in January. He was my best friend and he was also an avid golfer.

Challenge Tour – EMC Golf Challenge Open

Ricardo Gouveia claimed his maiden European Challenge Tour title in dramatic fashion as the Portuguese defeated Germany’s Florian Fritsch in the third play-off hole to win the EMC Golf Challenge Open in just his seventh event as a professional.

The 23 year old only turned professional in July before making his debut in the paid ranks at the D+D REAL Slovakia Challenge, after a glittering amateur career in the American collegiate ranks where he studied at the University of Central Florida.

But he showed the nerves and determination of a seasoned champion when he came up against Fritsch in the play-off, having carded a four under par 67 to make up the two shot overnight deficit and force extra holes.

In a dramatic finale at the stunning Olgiata Golf Club, Gouveia almost holed a monster putt at the first time of asking for a birdie that would have sealed it before he produced a superb up and down from a bunker 40 yards from the green at the second extra hole for a bogey which was only matched by Fritsch after he missed a seven footer for a winning par.

Both players went right off the tee at the third play-off hole, this time the tenth hole after playing the 18th twice, but it was Gouveia who produced the wonder shot as a seven iron to five feet set him for a winning birdie and a career-changing victory.

PGA Tour LatinoAmerica – Arturo Calle Colombian Classic presented by Avianca

Nicholas Lindheim of Satellite Beach, Fla. completed an impeccable week to win the Arturo Calle Colombian Classic presented by Avianca on Sunday.

His final round 67 was his third consecutive bogey-free round on the tournament. His lone mistake was as double-bogey on sixth hole Thursday.

Lindheim, 29, finished the tenth tournament of the season on the PGA TOUR Latinoamérica with a total of 19 under 269. He won by one shot over Colombia’s Marcelo Rozo and Illinois’ Brad Hopfinger.

“(This one went) beyond my expectations. I’m very, very happy, very proud about the way I played coming down the stretch," said Lindheim. "I had some opportunities before and this time I pulled it out."

Starting the day two shots off the lead, Lindheim kept a steady pace throughout the day. He birdied three of the first five holes to grab a share of the lead, and birdies on 13 and 16 helped him pull away for good.

Among several final round contenders, perhaps the strongest was Marcelo Rozo. The PGA TOUR Latinoamérica Order of Merit No. 1 got to be 18 under with five holes to play, but a short birdie putt missed on 15th proved costly.

Sunshine Tour – Vodacom Origins of Golf presented by Samsung

After eight years on the Sunshine Tour, and a career littered with near-misses, PH McIntyre took his maiden professional title with a play-off victory on the third extra hole of the R600,000 Vodacom Origins of Golf presented by Samsung tournament at Vaal de Grace Golf Estate.

That he saw off the attentions of play-off king Jake Roos, who won the first five of his six Sunshine Tour titles in play-offs, made the achievement even more meritorious.

“I won all of my matches in the Match Play Championships a couple of years ago on the 19th,” laughed McIntyre afterwards, “so I was actually calmer in the play-off than I was in regulation.”

It was an emotional win for the 28-year-old McIntyre, who had a sizeable contingent from Heidelberg Golf Club, out of which he plays, supporting him. “My Dad has been very ill,” he said. “He’s been in intensive care for about a month, and it was a very difficult time – flying to visit him in the Cape. So this win’s for him.”
