Tour Results - May 14, 2007

EUROPEAN TOUR: Valle Romano Open de Andalucia
Lee Westwood entered the final round with a 1 shot lead and after 3 consecutive birdies to start his final round had moved clear of the field. With 8 holes to play Westwood was 5 clear and looking like being on his way to a comfortable victory, but things are never that easy if you have not won in nearly 4 years. After 3 bogeys in 5 holes, Westwood's lead was reduced and when fellow Englishman Phillip Archer and Sweden's Fredrik Andersson-Hed both eagled the 16th, the comfortable lead was down to a single shot. Westwood though showed his experience and birdied the 16th to moved 2 clear again and he was able to hold onto the lead all the way to 18th green where he rolled in a 40 foot par putt to finish on 20 under-par 268 and claim his 17th victory on the European Tour.

PGA TOUR: The Players Championship
Early birdies at the first and second holes brought Phil Mickelson level with over night leader Sean O'Hair, who also birdied the second and it looked like a 2 horse race for the title. O'Hair and Mickelson stayed tied until the start of the back nine where O'Hair bogeyed the 10th and Mickelson birdied the 11th to take a 2 shot lead. Sergio Garcia meanwhile birdied 4 of his last 5 holes to put some pressure on the leaders, but it never looked like being enough. Mickelson was still two clear as they came to the famous par 3 17th and it was here O'Hair finally faltered. Mickelson found the green but O'Hair flew the green with his tee shot into the water and then from the drop zone found the water again and ended up making a quadruple bogey 7 to fall back and finish tied 11th. Mickelson made par to take a 3 shot lead up the last. His tee shot and second shot did flirt with the water, but the resulting bogey only reduced his winning margin over Garcia to 2 shots as he finished on 11 under-par 277 to claim his second win of 2007, his 31st overall PGA Tour title and first with new coach Butch Harmon.

LPGA TOUR: Michelob ULTRA Open
As over night leader Sarah Lee fell away, South Korean Jee Young Lee and Norwegian Suzann Pettersen were left to fight for the title. Pettersen had started the day with two early birdies at the 2nd and 3rd to close the gap on the leader and with another birdie at the 11th had tied Young Lee for the lead. Lee dropped a shot at the 14th to give Pettersen the lead, but only for a moment as she birdied the 15th to tie Pettersen once more. Both players could not be separated and they finished tied on 10 under-par 274 and forced extra holes. Back to the 18th they went and they halved the first extra hole in par before Petersen missed from 10 feet for birdie and Lee lipped in for par second time around to send the play-off to the third extra hole. Back up the 18th they went and Lee hit her approach to 12 feet as Petersen found the fringe some 20 feet away. The Norwegian putted down to a foot before amazingly Lee rolled her first putt 2 feet past and then missed the return. Pettersen took her chance and tapped in for a winning par to claim her first win on the LPGA Tour.

EUROPEAN CHALLENGE TOUR: A.G.F. Allianz Golf Open de Toulouse
At the start of the final round, 14 players were within 3 shots of the lead but it soon came down to just two players as Holland's Joost Luiten and Belgium's Nicolas Vanhootegem went on a birdie spree. Luiten birdied 3 of his first 5 holes and then just kept making birdies. Vanhootegem stayed with him and made 5 birdies in his last 11 holes. Luiten though made his final and crucial birdie with a superb 5 iron to 15 feet at the long par 3 18th to shoot 8 under-par 64 and finish on 17 under-par 271. Vanhootegem birdied the 17th to be one back but he could not make birdie at the last, as Luiten claimed his first professional victory in his very first year as a professional.

EUROPEAN SENIORS TOUR: The Gloria Classic
English golfer Martin Poxon was leading down the stretch until he was caught by the fast finishing Nick Job who birdied the 17th and then eagled the par-5 18th to set the clubhouse target of 10 under-par 206. Needing a birdie at the last to win, Poxon hit his drive in the fairway but with the green in range elected to lay up rather than go for it. His wedge approach finished 12 feet away and he missed the putt for the birdie and the win and so a play-off was required between the two Englishmen. Playing the 18th again Poxon who had never won in a play-off found the water twice and with Job already on the green in two, Poxon conceded in the fairway to give Job his 6th European Senior Tour title.
