Golf Betting Lines

03/07/2010 - Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Seung-yul Noh got up and down for birdie on the final hole Sunday to fend off K.J. Choi and win the Malaysian Open by a single stroke.

The South Korean Noh shot four-under 68 and completed his first European Tour title at 14-under-par 274.

"I first won on the Asian Tour in 2008, but I struggled last year, so to win early in this year I am very happy," Noh stated. "Coincidentally, when I was playing a practice round with K.J. earlier in the week he asked me when my last win was and when I told him it was in 2008 he said, 'Isn't it about time you won?' For it to happen this week, I couldn't think of a better situation."

Choi also birdied the last to post three-under 69, which left him at minus-13.

Rhys Davies and Kiradech Aphibarnrat shared the lead entering the final round at Kuala Lumpur Golf & Country Club, but closed with one-under 71s to share third place with Soren Hansen (70) at 12-under-par 276.

With as many as six different players owning a piece of the lead during the final round, Noh made a late move to grab the win.

Noh chipped in for birdie on the first to grab a share of the lead. He fell behind as he parred the next three holes, but again moved into a share of the lead with a birdie on the par-five fifth.

The South Korean parred five in a row from the sixth before a birdie on No. 11 gave him a piece of the lead with Choi and Aphibarnrat.

Noh fell one behind as he faltered to a bogey on the par-four 13th. He showed his mettle though with a birdie on 16 to regain a share of the lead. Choi then bogeyed the 17th to give Noh the lead by himself.

Choi fought back with his first birdie of the week on the par-five closing hole to match Noh at minus-13.

The 18-year-old held off Choi, a seven-time winner on the PGA Tour, with a four-foot birdie putt at the last to claim his first European Tour win.

"I'm not disappointed at all. I played well and tried my best," said Choi. "Hats off to Seung-yul, he played well and had a fantastic round. I'm happy with how my game has improved and I have a lot to look forward to."

Danny Willett closed with back-to-back rounds of four-under 68 to end alone in sixth place at 11-under-par 277. Thongchai Jaidee (72) and Johan Edfors (71) were one stroke further back at minus-10.

NOTES: Anthony Kang, the 2009 champion, finished at even-par 288 after posting a 72 on Sunday...Two-time champion Arjun Atwal carded a three-under 69 Sunday to share 28th place at minus-three...The European Tour heads to the United States next week for the WGC - CA Championship, where Phil Mickelson is the defending champion...The following week the tour is in Morocco for the Hassan II Golf Trophy, where Ernie Els won last year.
