Michael Sim wins Jack Nicklaus

Trophy as US Nationwide Tour

Player of the Year

Aberdeen-born Australian Michael Sim has been voted 2009 Player of the Year on the United States Nationwide Tour by his fellow competitors. The honour wins him the Jack Nicklaus Trophy.
"With the level of play we see week-in-and week-out on the Nationwide Tour, Michael's record-breaking performance this season was nothing short of spectacular," said US PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem.
"We congratulate him on joining a distinguished list of Nationwide Tour alumni who are having an impact on the PGA Tour on a weekly basis. Michael certainly embodies the Nationwide Tour's mission of identifying and transitioning players who are ready to compete and win on the PGA Tour."
"It is a great honour to be named Nationwide Tour Player of the Year by my peers," said Sim.
"The level of play out there is incredible. I think the Nationwide Tour is the best place to test your game and see if you have what it takes. When you look at the success Nationwide Tour players have had on the PGA Tour, it really gives me a boost of confidence. I'm excited to get out there.
"My goal next year is to win a US PGA Tour event. I wish to thank my fellow players for voting for me and everybody associated with the Tour who helped me throughout the year. It certainly was a fun and rewarding year."
Sim, 25, who emigrated with his parents from Aberdeen to Perth, Western Australia when he was seven years old, enjoyed a record-smashing year in 2009.
He won three times by August to earn immediate promotion to the US PGA Tour and set.
a single-season Nationwide Tour earnings record of $644,142.
Sim was ranked No 53 on the Official World Golf Rankings on October 26 and is now No 60.

Retief Goosen leads by one in South Africa

FROM THE SUNSHINE TOUR WEBSITE
Retief Goosen’s approach to the first hole brought back memories of his eagle on 17 the previous day, and, although it didn’t go in the hole, he took a one-stroke lead after the second round of the Nedbank Golf Challenge being played over the 7,162-metre Gary Player Country Club at Sun City, Johannesburg, South African.
The South African pitched it to within a foot from the rough on the right of the first fairway and tapped it in for the first of three birdies in the opening four holes as he raced into the lead.
And, although he relinquished that lead briefly to Robert Allenby and Masters champion Angel Cabrera, Goosen signed for a four-under 68 and a total of seven-under 135, with Cabrera shooting the low round of the day, his five-under 67 taking him to six-under for the tournament.
“Not a bad place to be in any tournament,” said Goosen.
“It depends if somebody goes really hot, but you’re probably looking at around 15-under as a possible winning score,” he said.
Goosen started fast before dropping a shot on the eighth. He rallied with a birdie on the ninth and another on the 10th before making another bogey 4 on the short 12th.
He got that shot back with a birdie on the 15th, but not before he took a visit to the bush on the 550-metre par-five 14th, and managed to salvage a par from a lie under a low thorn tree.
“The rough is a little less punishing than it was the last time I played here,” said Goosen. “If you miss a fairway, you have a little bit more of a chance.”
Cabrera had a round filled with dark glares at his putter, the sand in bunkers and the fans.
But for all that, he dropped just one shot when he bogeyed the 193-metre par-3 in a round filled with some of his belligerent best, and some long-distance putting.
Defending champion Henrik Stenson of Sweden is nicely poised to make a bid for his second consecutive victory after his four-under 68 lifted him into a share of second with Cabrera and first-round leader Allenby of Australia.
South Africa’s Tim Clark lived up to his “bulldog” tag with a battling even-par 72 which saw him share fifth with Hunter Mahan of the United States.
It was a tough opening nine for Clark, after he dropped a shot on the first and again on the third. But he composed himself, and picked up birdies on 10, 14 and 16 before he overhit a bunker shot on 18 and was unable to do any better than two-putt and drop one more shot.
Sunshine Tour 2008 Order of Merit winner Richard Sterne also battled, and his lone birdie on 10 was no compensation for four bogeys in his round of 75.
World number 10 Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland struggled his way through a stomach complaint to card a four-over 76. He brings up the rear of this invited field.

EUROPEAN TOUR ANNOUNCES ANDALUCÍA

MASTERS ON ITS 2010 SCHEDULE

NEWS RELEASE ISSUED BY EUROPEAN TOUR
The European Tour will reinforce its formidable partnership with Andalucía and the magnificent Club de Golf Valderrama in 2010 with the announcement that a new tournament, the Andalucía Masters, will join the Open de Andalucía on next year’s International Schedule.
The €3,000,000 event will be staged at Valderrama from October 28-31, 2010, and will be the last event of the year on The European Tour’s home continent before the season-ending finale of The Dubai World Championship in November.
With the Open de Andalucía playing host to Continental Europe’s first tournament on the 2010 Schedule there will be a symbolic feel to Spain’s glorious Andalucía region next year as it signals the beginning and end of the season on mainland Europe.
A return to Valderrama, the iconic venue that played host to The Tour’s season-ending Volvo Masters for 21 glorious years, can only enhance the appeal of the Andalucía Masters.
Luciano Alonso, Consejero de Tourismo, Comercio y Deportes for Junta de Andalucía (the Andalucían Government), said: “Junta de Andalucía and Club de Golf Valderrama have been working together to bring back a truly great European Tour event to our region and to bring the recognition that Andalucía deserves with an international competition of the very highest quality.
“The national and international exposure that the Andalucía Masters will bring to our region will show our support of this event to be a worthwhile investment and will have a very positive economic impact to our region.”
Felipe Ortiz-Patiño, President of Club de Golf Valderrama, said: “Today is a giant step not only for Valderrama but for tourism in Andalucía. After a year of discussions and meetings, the Junta de Andalucia, The European Tour and Valderrama announce their intention to create a new event which will be one of Europe's most important and which, over the years, could establish itself as one of the ‘not to miss’ events on The European Tour calendar.
“We at Valderrama consider ourselves privileged to be working with such strong partners in creating an event of this magnitude and we thank Junta de Andalucía not only for their support in this new event but for all their support over the years: without them The Ryder Cup, the WGC – American Express World Championship or the Volvo Masters would not have been possible.”
Keith Waters, Director of International Policy for The European Tour, said: “It is a great pleasure to announce the Andalucía Masters for quite obvious reasons. The European Tour’s partnership with both Junta de Andalucía and Club de Golf Valderrama are among the strongest in golf, so to be able to further strengthen our relationship gives us immense satisfaction.
“We look forward to returning to one of the great venues of European golf for what will be one of the highlights of the 2010 International Schedule and we thank our friends at the Junta de Andalucía and the Patiño family at Valderrama for their commitment to The European Tour.”

BATTLING CHAN STAYS AHEAD AT KING’S CUP

TOURNEY IN THAILAND

Khon Kaen , Thailand: Chinese Taipei’s Chan Yih-shin held on to his lead at the King’s Cup with a battling one-over-par 73 on Fiday but six players were hot on his heels.
The 32-year-old failed to repeat his o pen ing round’s magic when he shot a sparkling course record 64 but will still enter the weekend rounds one stroke ahead of the pack with his two-day total of seven-under-par 137 at the US$300,000 Asian Tour tournament presented by Singha and Sports Authority of Thailand.
Rahil Gangjee of India charged into contention when he equaled Chan’s course mark at the Singha Park Khon Kaen Golf Club to also ease the pressure in his hopes of earning his Asian Tour card for next season.
He finished the day in tied second place alongside compatriots Harmeet Kahlon (67) and Anirban Lahiri (72), Korea’s Kim Dae-hyun (68), Lin Wen-hong of Chinese Taipei (71) and Scotland’s Ross Bain (69) on matching 138s.
Little-known Apichai Leelakajornjit maintained Thailand ’s challenge after a 71 left him two back on 139 alongside Corey Harris of the United States who shot a 70 and towering Welshman Craig Smith, who carded a 69.
“My putting just wasn’t clicking for me as I missed a lot of short putts. It was quite disappointing because the conditions were quite easy in the afternoon and I did not put in a good score. I didn’t take the chances I had,” said Chan, who is searching for his first Asian Tour victory.
Starting from the 10th tee, the unassuming Chan could have retained his overnight two-shot advantage if not for a costly bogey on his last hole where he missed a three-foot par putt.
“It is disappointing but I have to concentrate in the last two rounds and hopefully my name will still be on top on Sunday,” he added.
Gangjee chipped in for an eagle on the 18th, his ninth hole of the day to add to his six birdies and a lone bogey as he moved into contention.
“In the beginning it was stressful but later in the round, it became fun. After yesterday’s first round, I was outside the cut line and I was so stressed out and hit it all over the place. Today was something else, everything clicked.
“Now, I’m in a different kind of mode. I think I should be safe. It’s stressed me out enough. Now that I’m in a good position, I’ll try to finish it off,” said Gangjee, who is ranked 63rd on the Order of Merit and needs to finish in the top-65 on Sunday.
Scotsman Bain was tied for the lead before a bogey on his last hole dropped him into joint second place. “I played really nicely from tee to green so I’m a little frustrated not to be one better. All in all two days gone, I’m still happy to be in contention,” said Bain, whose best finish this season was tied ninth at the SAIL O pen in India.
Kim rued a bogey on the ninth hole which was his last hole but was delighted to be in contention. He credited his approach shots where he was able to sink in five birdies from six feet.
He is chasing his maiden Asian Tour win and after coming close at the Queen’s Cup in Thailand earlier in the season where he finished tied second, he is determined to go one better in the King’s Cup.
“I’m very pleased with my round despite my bogey. My goal for the weekend is just to continue playing the way that I played these last two days and keep my mind clear. I can’t put pressure on myself,” said the Korean.
Malaysia’s Shaaban Hussin, who started the week in 65th place on the Merit list, three-putted his last hole for a 78 to miss the halfway cut by one shot. He reckons he will slip out of the top-65 bracket which players need to earn their playing rights for next year.
“I tried to control my score today. I tried to play it safe but it didn’t work. Six over is not good. I missed my birdie putt (on 18) and I thought I had missed the cut at two over. I had a birdie chance from one foot but tapped too firm and lipped out. Next time, I should mark the ball,” said Shaaban.

KOHLER CO ACQUIRES HISTORIC HAMILTON

HALL, BEHIND 18th GREEN AT ST ANDREWS

NEWS RELEASE ISSUED BY HELEN HEADY PR
Herb Kohler, Chairman and CEO of Wisconsin-based Kohler Co, today announced that the company, through its subsidiary, The Old Course Limited, has purchased Hamilton Hall of St Andrews, one of the most photographed buildings (behind the 186th green on the Old Course) in the world of golf.
Kohler Co emerged as the accepted party from a competitive bidding process for the property conducted by Jones Lang La Salle and the Bank of Scotland. The Old Course Limited now owns and operates the 5 AA Red Star Old Course Hotel, the Kohler Waters Spa and The Duke’s golf course, all of which will play a role in the future of Hamilton Hall.
Hamilton Hall, which opened as a hotel in its own right in 1895, remains a stately four-storey building of 45,000 square feet that overlooks the 18th green and fairway of the Old Course, the world’s most famous golf course, and looks down The West Sands beach and out to the North Sea and sits adjacent to the 255 year old Royal & Ancient Golf Club.
Unfortunately, its interior is little more than rubble. Nevertheless, when Hamilton Hall became available for purchase, Herb Kohler felt that it was restorable and a good fit with the Kohler resort properties.
“We are honoured,” he said, “to own such an iconic building in the home of golf.”
Hamilton Hall was originally opened as the Grand Hotel in 1895 to capitalise on the rapid expansion of St Andrews as a popular tourist destination for golf and sea bathing.
Founder Thomas Hamilton is said to have commissioned the construction immediately after his application for membership had been rejected by the Royal & Ancient Golf Club. In an attempt to draw attention away from the Royal & Ancient, Hamilton constructed the much larger and more extravagant building adjacent to it.
During World War II, the hotel was requisitioned by the armed forces and never reopened as a hotel. Shortly after the end of the War, the hotel was acquired by the University of St Andrews and was opened as a hall of residence in 1949 under the name Hamilton Hall.
In 2005, the University announced that it had sold the Hall as the result of an unsolicited bid and consequently the university session 2005-06 would be the last year Hamilton Hall would be open as a hall of residence.
The building is one of the most famous in St Andrews as it was featured in the film Chariots of Fire and in global television coverage of the many golf tournaments played on the Old Course.
“We are excited about the development opportunities for Hamilton Hall, and appreciate both the support and enthusiasm the local community has for the property,” added Kohler. “We look forward to gathering input from the townspeople and the Fife Council as to what the name of the building should be along with its future use.”
Kohler Co. intends to conduct a “public consultation process” over the next few months toward creating a unique and economically viable product that will enhance St Andrews standing as the world’s premier golf destination.

Herb Kohler suggested that “individuals who may one day occupy Hamilton Hall would be afforded a number of hospitality amenities including public and private dining at the Old Course Hotel, concierge and valet service, Kohler Waters Spa membership and The Duke’s Golf Club membership, as well as a week at our very special private club called Riverbend in Kohler, Wisconsin, USA.”
“Our priority is to complete the preservation of Hamilton Hall and return it to a viable and prominent position in St Andrews for generations to come,” Kohler continued. “Our company has long demonstrated the passion and ability it takes to restore historic buildings back to great distinction.”

Skins to sponsor PGA four-ball championship

NEWS RELEASE ISSUED BY THE PGA
The PGA’s tournament programme has been given a major boost by the news that Skins, the Australian manufacturer of performance-enhancing sportswear, has agreed to sponsor its four-ball championship for the next three years.
Skins has become the UK's market leader in the rapidly growing compression and therapeutic sportswear category in just two years and its tie-up with the PGA is a natural progression for the company.
The event will be called the Skins PGA Four-ball Championship.
Skins general manager for Europe, David Ling, explained: “We are launching a range of apparel for golfers in the spring.“It has been specifically designed to cope with the stresses and strains golf imposes on the body. We are thrilled by the range and our three-year agreement with the PGA. It demonstrates our long-term commitment to this important sporting category and supports our belief in the performance characteristics of technical compression wear and the benefits the range will offer PGA professionals as well as golfers of all abilities.
“We’re also very excited about the PGA Four-ball Championship and look forward to meeting the PGA professionals who take part in it.”
More than 500 PGA professionals and assistants competed in this year’s championship, which comprised qualifying rounds in each of the seven PGA regions and culminated with the final at Forest Pines, Lincolnshire.
The final of the 2010 tournament, which has Skins as its title sponsor and carries a prize fund of £30,000, will return to Forest Pines and see Dublin-based assistants Pat Devine and Stuart Taylor defend the title they claimed last October.
In addition to sponsoring the four-ball championship, Skins has also been appointed a PGA Official Supplier.
PGA chief executive Sandy Jones said: “This is another very welcome vote of confidence for our tournament programme. The fact that we are attracting new sponsors, especially major players like Skins, in difficult times shows the strength of the PGA brand."

Last-hole double bogey costs Ian Poulter

outright lead in Chevron World Challenge

FROM THE PGA OF AUSTRALIA WEBSITE
A double bogey at the last hole left Ian Poulter in a share of the lead with Zach Johnson at the end of the first round of a Tiger-less Chevron World Challenge in California.
With the world No.1 staying away from his own tournament, which annually benefits the Tiger Woods Foundation, ticket holders at Sherwood Country Club near Los Angeles were offered refunds in his absence.
Those who chose to attend anyway watched England's Poulter lead the 18-man field for most of his round, only to miss the fairway off the 18th tee on the way to a double bogey which left him with a four-under 68, tied with American former Masters champion Johnson.
Ireland's Padraig Harrington, the winner here in 2002, finished the day in third place following a 69 with Jim Furyk, US PGA champion YE Yang and Open champion Stewart Cink a shot behind having each carded 70s.
"There's plenty of good guys here and plenty of winners here as well so it's nice to have some sort of track record on the course," Harrington said
"I feel good about my chances going forward."
Newly-crowned Race to Dubai winner Lee Westwood, the world No.4, briefly shared the lead with his compatriot Poulter at five-under before falling away on the back nine to one-under having posted an opening 71, including a double bogey at the last.
"I played pretty well around the front nine, it's just a shame I didn't finish it off," Westwood said.
"I left a lot of good shots out there and if you get bad shots out there it's going to penalise you."
"So I got what I deserved in the end with a double bogey at the last."
Westwood found a wooded area to the right of the fairway off the 18th tee and on an uphill lie and lost his footing on his downswing.
"I've just pulled something, not much I don't think. My back foot went as I came into the ball and it did hurt but I should be all right," he said.
Westwood will start the second round alongside Americans Anthony Kim, Sean O'Hair and Steve Stricker, the world No.3, and also Graeme McDowell, Woods' last-minute replacement in the field.
The Northern Irishman, handed a late chance to jump back into the world's top 50 from his current ranking of 55, made a slow start but sparked into life with a long birdie putt at the par-three 15th.
Germany's Martin Kaymer finished with a one-over 73 while England's Paul Casey, who has played only twice since aggravating a rib injury and withdrawing from the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational at the start of August, posted a three-over-par 75.

Troy leads on merit at US Tour Final Q School

First-round leader Troy Merritt maintained a one-stroke lead with a second-round, three-under-par 69 in the US PGA Tour Final Qualifying School six-round tournament at West Palm Beach, Florida.
After opening with a 67 on the Links Course at Bear Lakes Country Club, Merritt made three straight birdies on the Lakes Course and is at eight under par with four rounds to go.
Jay Williamson was alone in second after a 69 on the Links Course.
Tour veteran Jeff Maggert, Andrew McLardy, Ted Brown and Michael Connell all shot 67 and were in a group at 6 under.
The top 25 finishers and ties after the six-round tournament will earn cards for 2010, with roughly 50 more earning fully exempt status for the Nationwide Tour.
David Duval, Tim Herron and Jesper Parnevik were in a group at even par.

Australian Open director defends decision to

send players out in 60km winds


FROM THE PGA OF AUSTRALIA WEBSITE
Australian Open director Trevor Herden has been forced to defend the state of the greens and the decision to start play in 60km winds as the second day of the tournament began in a blaze of controversy at the NSW Golf Club today.
In a move that angered many in the field, 39 players teed off in the treacherous conditions, only for play to be suspended after just 80 minutes as balls began rolling off the greens.
Several of the greens were already under the spotlight for being too fast, the strong winds only exacerbating the problem at the exposed coastal course.
Play eventually re-started at 2pm local time when the wind dropped but it was too late for the likes of Brett Rumford, who shot a quintuple bogey 8 at the short third when the breeze was at its peak.
Seven other players recorded double bogeys.
But Herden rejected any suggestion play should not have started, claiming the players had taken the decision 'in their stride' despite strong rumours to the contrary.
He said weather forecasters had got it wrong in predicting the southerly would hit in the late afternoon, not early morning.
And he used a stimpmeter reading, which he said indicated the NSW GC greens were not too fast, to douse criticism of the putting surfaces.
"We've done everything to protect those greens. The greens are not fast," he said.
"We've done all we can to protect those three or four greens (that are considered too fast)."
As for the wind, Herden continued: "Based on the forecasts we've done everything right."
Asked if players who had teed off in the morning had been disadvantaged, Herden responded: "Possibly, but it's no different to stopping at Royal Sydney last year for all of Friday afternoon for the rain."
"Were they disadvantaged? It's golf. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose."
"We've been disadvantaged here for three and a half hours and there's a lot of hours in a golf tournament."
"In Europe we stop because of wind, in America we stop because of wind - this is a wind issue."
"I think we're right on track with what we need to do. They (the players) take it all in their stride."
