Kim captures AT&T National title
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 08 - 07 - 2008

American Anthony Kim claimed his second victory of the year by shooting a flawless five-under-par 65 to win the AT&T National by two strokes over Sweden's Fredrik Jacobson on Sunday.
Kim, who entered the final round three strokes behind leader Tom Pernice, recorded five birdies and no bogeys on the rigorous Congressional Country Club course to finish at 12-under 268.
The 33-year-old Jacobson double bogeyed the third hole but then reeled off seven birdies en route to his final round 65.
There was a six-way tie for third with Americans Jim Furyk, Dean Wilson, and Tommy Armour III, and Australians Rod Pampling, Robert Allenby and Nick O'Hern all at 271, three shots behind Kim.
Lee wins Arkansas
South Korea's Lee Seon Hwa birdied the 18th hole to capture the rain-disrupted Arkansas Championship Sunday and take home her second win of the season and fourth career title.
Lee fired a four-under 68 to hold off American Jane Park and fellow South Korean Meena Lee, finishing the 54-hole tournament at 15-under 201 at Pinnacle Country Club. It was another steller weekend on the LPGA Tour for Asian players as they placed six players in the top 10.
Lee eagled the par-five seventh hole before recording 10 straight pars.
The 22-year-old then birdied the par-five 18th hole to claim the championship.
Park finished with a flourish, carding 10 birdies - including six in a seven-hole stretch - in her bogey-free final round to finish at 14-under 200.
Meena Lee also played bogey-free golf on Sunday - that is, until she posted just her second bogey of the tournament at the 17th hole.
Reigning Rookie of the Year Angela Park, Kristy McPherson, Japan's Ai Miyazato and Karen Stupples finished tied for fourth at 13-under.
Fisher recovers
Ross Fisher's stunning seven-shot triumph at the European Open helped the young Briton exorcise the demons of his 72nd-hole blunder at the Champions Tournament in November.
Fisher, vying for the Shanghai title with Phil Mickelson and Lee Westwood, found water at the last with victory in his grasp and had to show nerves of steel to hole out from eight feet for a double-bogey seven that set up a three-way playoff. World number two Mickelson then went on to lift the first trophy of the 2007-08 European Tour season after two holes of sudden-death.
“To push Mickelson the way I did was a great achievement but I feel it was a tournament I should have won,” the 27-year-old Fisher told reporters after his runaway victory at the London Club on Sunday.
World number eight Sergio Garcia took second place after defying the elements with a sparkling, best-of-the-day 66. McDowell (73) was third on 276. South African David Frost carded a 71 for 277 to finish fourth. Colin Montgomerie's title defence ended disappointingly as he slid to a 77 for 287, one under.
