Kim is the $1 million dollar man in New Zealand

American Anthony Kim beat compatriot Sean O'Hair in a play-off to win the Kiwi Challenge two-day tournament and the first prize of $1million at Cape Kidnappers, Hawkes Bay, New Zealand today.
Kim ran up a bogey 6 at the first play-off hole, but it was good enough to beat O'Hair's double bogey 7 and win the four-man tournament.
Kim, runner-up in the event last year, closed with a five-under-par 66 for a 36-hole total of 137.
O'Hair birdied the last for a second-round 69 to tie.
A third American, Hunter Mahan, finished with a 67 for 140, one shot ahead of Colombian Camilo Villegas, who had a 72 today.
Villegas was one stroke behind O'Hair's leading 69 when the weather-disrupted first round was completed this morning.
"It feels wonderful," Kim said."I did what I had to do to win, and fortunately I made a couple putts."
