JIM FURYK WINS CANADIAN

OPEN FOR SECOND YEAR

IN A ROW AFTER EARLY

ACE IN FINAL ROUND

Helped by a hole in one early in a final round of seven-under-par 64, world No 3 Jim Furyk made a successful defence of the Canadian Open title at Angus Glen Golf Club.
Furyk, pictured right, finished at 16-under-par 268, one shot ahead of Vijay Singh who signed off with a 68.

Aberdeen-born Michael Sim tied for 34th place at five-under-par 279 and earned $23,666.
Michael, who emigrated with his parents to Perth, Western Australia when he was seven, is now 166th on the US PGA Tour money table with earnings of $227,178 from nine events.

He did not make his debut on the American circuit until May after suffering a stress fracture in the lower back late last autumn.
