King Kang wins in Malaysia

Anthony Kang of the United States ended an eight-year victory drought, rolling home a short birdie at the final hole to emerge from a tightly-bunched field for a one-stroke victory at the Maybank Malaysian Open today.

The 36-year-old began the final round two shots behind overnight leader Adam Blyth of Australia but closed with a five-under-par 67 at Saujana Golf and Country Club’s Palm Course to win the US dollars 2million event, which is co-sanctioned by the European and Asian Tours.
