Kim's royal appointment

American Ryder Cup star Anthony Kim was taken aback in the pro-am for the Maybank Malaysian Open today when he discovered one of his partners was the King of Malaysia.

The 23-year-old said of his day out with His Royal Highness Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin: “It was quite an honour. He was a really funny guy, and it was a blast to go out there and play a round of golf with him.”
