Calcavecchia and Liang climb world ranks to 62nd and 78th
Mark Calcavecchia won the PODS Championship at Innisbrook Resort
and Golf Club, Tampa Bay, Florida by a stroke from John Senden and
Heath Slocum. A play-off looked likely as Calcavecchia missed a
seven foot par putt on the 72nd hole but then Slocum missed from
around four feet for par and Calcavecchia claimed the title along
with a World Ranking of 62nd, up 68 places.
Liang Wen-chong became the second Chinese golfer to win on The
European Tour when he defeated Malaysia's Iain Steel at the first
hole of a sudden-death play-off to claim the Clariden Leu Singapore
Masters at the Laguna National Golf Club. The win takes Liang to
World Number 78, a jump of 40 places.
Edoardo Molinari completed his second victory of the 2007 Challenge
Tour season at the Tusker Kenya Open at Karen Golf Club in Nairobi.
The Italian climbs 130 places to World number 226.
