Woods trims O'Hair's lead to 2 at Bay Hill
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 30 - 03 - 2009

Overnight pacesetter Sean O'Hair had his five-shot lead trimmed to just two by Tiger Woods midway through Sunday's final round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational in Orlando.
Clearly feeling the pressure of playing in the company of world number one Woods, American O'Hair carded two bogeys and a birdie at a blustery Bay Hill Club to reach the turn in one-over-par 36.
That left him at six under overall in pursuit of his third PGA Tour title, with five-time champion Woods hot on his heels after three birdies and a bogey over the outward nine.
Australian John Senden took advantage of rain-softened greens to make four successive birdies from the fourth and was alone in third at three under with five holes remaining.
For Woods to triumph at Bay Hill, he would have to match his biggest comeback on the PGA Tour after 54 holes. In 2000, he overhauled a five-shot deficit to win the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am.
The start of the final round was delayed by an hour and 45 minutes due to the threat of lightning after storms rolled into the area earlier than expected and then lingered.
Kjeldsen lifts title
Denmark's Soren Kjeldsen claimed his third European Tour title when he won the Andalucia Open by three shots from Briton David Drysdale on Sunday.
A closing level-par 72 in a tense finale at the Real Club for a four-round 14-under-par 274 earned Kjeldsen, 33, the $225,000 first prize.
The winning margin flattered Kjeldsen because the pair were locked together until the short but formidable 17th hole.
There was a two-shot swing when Drysdale, looking for his maiden tour title, found the greenside bunker to bogey while Kjeldsen birdied by running in a second successive 20ft putt.
The Dane had holed from a similar length on the long 16th to save par after finding the water with his approach to stay on level terms with Drysdale.
When 34-year-old Drysdale sent his approach into the lake at 18 he then had to work hard to only make double-bogey for a 74 and take second spot on his own, equalling his best tour finish.
Britain's Graeme Storm (69) and Italy's Francesco Molinari (70) shared third place a further stroke back.
Shin seizes lead
South Korean rookie Shin Jiyai, fresh off her first LPGA triumph three weeks ago, fired a six-under par 66 on Saturday for a one-stroke lead after round three of the Phoenix International.
Shin captured her first LPGA crown on March 8 at Singapore and put herself in position to win again here, standing on 10-under 206 after 54 holes.
One stroke off the pace thanks to birdies at 18 as well were Australian star Karrie Webb and South Korean Kim In-Kyung with Norway's Suzann Pettersen fourth on 208, one stroke ahead of Korean Ji Eun Hee.
