Twenty-six-year-old South Korean Sang-Moon Bae claimed his first PGA Tour victory at the HP Byron Nelson Championship, jumping out to a big front nine lead on Sunday before hanging on down a tense homestretch.  Bae, an 11-time winner worldwide before this week, began the final round one stroke behind Keegan Bradley, who’d led the tournament since Thursday, when he opened with a stunning course-record round of 60.  But Bae carded four early birdies (including three straight at holes 5-7) on a Sunday beset by 40 mph winds  and appeared to be coasting on a four-shot lead before a double-bogey at the 9th and a bogey at the 10th let the competition back into the game.  Most of that competition came from Bradley, who also claimed his first PGA Tour title here in 2010, and who was attempting to become the event’s first wire-to-wire winner since Tom Watson in 1980.  Having scrambled enough to stay close to Bae over the first 14 holes, he finally drew even by holing a 17-foot birdie putt at the 15th.  But at the par-5 16th, Bae holed a five-footer for birdie to re-take the lead before Bradley lipped out a shorter effort to keep pace, then bogeyed the par-3 17th to effectively end his chances...............A loser to Nicolas Colsaerts in last year’s final of the World Match Play Championship, Northern Ireland’s Graeme McDowell returned to claim the title this year, beating Thailand’s ageless Thongchai Jaidee 2 & 1 over the scenic Thracian Cliffs Golf Course in Kavarna, Bulgaria. McDowell, the 2010 U.S. Opn champion, began the final round inauspiciously, quickly falling two down after the 43-year-old Jaidee birdied numbers 2 and 4.  But McDowell drew closer with a birdie of his own at the par-3 7th, then found another gear the match’s crucial stage, logging birdies at the 12th, 14th and 15th to lift himself to two up.  Jaidee could do no better than a half at the par-5 16th, allowing the popular McDowell to close him out with another half at the 17th.  The victory was McDowell’s second in five weeks worldwide (coming on the heel’s of the PGA Tour’s Heritage Classic in Aril) and lifted him to seventh in the Official World ranking...............Lacking full status on both the PGA and European Tours at the start of the year, 2010 U.S. Amateur champion Peter Uihlein plied his trade all around the globe over the season’s first half, before finally nailing down a full E Tour exemption by claiming the Madeira Islands Open, played off the coast of Portugal.  The 23-year-old Uihlein bested a comparatively light field (the event is co-sanctioned by Europe’s developmental Challenge Tour) in claiming his first professional win but he did so in style, launching himself into contention with a second-round 64 (the week’s low round), then birdieing four of his final eight holes on Sunday to nose in front, eventually closing out a two-shot victory when Denmark’s Morten Orum Madsen double-bogeyed the 18th to miss a chance at a playoff............... Beginning Sunday’s final round an imposing nine shots off the lead, Korea’s Hyung-Sung Kim charged home with a final-round 65 (low round of the day by three shots) to claim his second career Japan Tour title at the Japan PGA Championship.  The 33-year-old Kim got off to a blazing start, carding birdies on six of his first eight holes to go out in 29, then came home in even-par 36 to post a 279 total.  Kim then had to watch as multiple challengers attempted to catch him, including Yoshinori Fujimoto (who couldn’t manage a birdie after the 14th hole) and Hiroyuki Fujita, who might have tied but for a bogey at the par-4 15th.  But most disappointed was up-and-coming 20-year-old star Hideki Matsuyama, who held a seemingly commanding four-shot 54-hole lead before bogeying five of his first seven holes on Sunday.  Matsuyama gamely recovered with birdies at the 14th and 15th to draw within one, but he too could not find the one more late birdie needed to catch the victorious Kim.
