Willett finishes T6 in Mayalysia
Former Bondhay junior Danny Willett finishes a respectable T6 in the Maybank Malaysian Open 2010.
Korean teen sensation Noh Seung-yul secured a dramatic one-stroke victory over illustrious countryman K.J. Choi after pulling off an audacious final-hole birdie on Sunday.
The 18-year-old Noh produced the unlikeliest of birdies at the par five 634-yard 18th hole to close out the US$2 million tournament with a final round four-under-par 68 and a 14-under-par 274 winning aggregate.
“This is more special than my first win,” said Noh, who was triumphant at the 2008 Midea China Classic en route to becoming the Asian Tour’s Rookie of the Year that season.

Lloyd pips team-mate Lewis to Abu Dhabi Title
Boy international Chris Lloyd beat his England team-mate Tom Lewis to win the Abu Dhabi Junior Championship, presented by the Daily Telegraph, despite trailing by four strokes early in the final round.
Lloyd carded a closing 68 for an 11-under-par tally of 205, finishing a stroke ahead of Lewis, whose 73 was his worst return of the week.
Lewis, the British and English Boy Champion from Welwyn Garden City, had looked like completing a convincing victory after opening with a 64 before adding a 69 to lead Lloyd by four strokes going into the final round.
That still seemed the outcome as Lewis secured two early birdies, however the gap was back to four after six holes and with a two-shot swing on the eighth Lewis’ lead was cut to two as they played the ninth. There, Lloyd birdied and he also picked up a shot on the tenth to leave the two pals level with eight to play.
When Lewis failed to match par on the 12th, Lloyd led for the first time and that remained the position to the 16th where Lloyd birdied again to increase his lead to two.
However, Lloyd dropped a shot at 17 which meant Lewis needed a birdie at the last to tie. But he could only match Lloyd’s par which left the Bristolian from The Kendleshire to take the title by the narrowest of margins.

Joe Hall Wins SUGC U14 Match Play Championship
After playing several qualifying rounds, Bondhay’s Joe Hall battled through to the final rounds of the SUGC U14 Matchplay Championship at Roundwood Golf Club on 20 September 2009.
Joe faced F Timlin of Hickleton Golf Club in the semi-final and played some great golf to win 6&5.
In the final, Joe was pitted against C Clarke of Wheatley Golf Club and made a fantastic start to the afternoon winning the first to go 1-up.
At the 4th Joe was pegged back to all square, and the match swung this way and that before Joe won the 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th to go 5-up. The 13th was lost, but a Par on 14th was enough to win 5&4 and secured Joe the trophy!
Another brilliant result for a member of the Bondhay Junior’s, and all the Club’s congratulations go to Joe.
