A round-up of today's other Golf stories
Lehman may have to choose
US TOUR: Tom Lehman's chances of making his Ryder Cup team were still very much alive with just four holes to play in The International tournament in Colorado.
The 47-year-old American captain could leap from 29th to seventh in the points race with just next week's US PGA championship to come and he was joint leader with Dean Wilson and Japan's Daisuke Maruyama on 32 points at Castle Rock.
Lehman has yet to rule out being a playing captain at the K Club, saying after the third round: "If I were to make the team I don't know what to do. That's the truth. But would I play? Probably not really because I'm not putting well. I feel like I'd be letting the team down with the putter. I wouldn't want to deal with that."
SENIORS TOUR: Spain's Juan Quiros collected his maiden European Seniors Tour title on only his seventh start, closing with a five-under-par 65 to win the Bad Ragaz PGA Seniors Open by two strokes from England's Carl Mason.
Quiros finished the 54-hole tournament in the Swiss Alps on 14-under-par 196, while Mason, a two-time winner of the European Seniors Tour Order of Merit, continued his return to form with a final-round 65 to finish on 12 under.
England's Nick Job and Scotland's Bill Longmuir, both of whom had shared the overnight lead with Quiros, could only muster rounds of 68 to finish in a share of third place alongside Australian Stewart Ginn (64) on 11 under.
In his younger years Quiros spent 13 seasons on the main European Tour without tasting victory, so the 50-year-old was especially delighted by his success at Golf Club Bad Ragaz in the Swiss Alps.
"This is a beautiful," declared the jovial Spaniard. "At the end of last year I was really struggling with my back, and my aim for this season was just to keep my card. To win, especially so soon, is a massive bonus, and now I don't need to worry about keeping my card anymore."
Northern Ireland's Jimmy Heggarty, who like Quiros is a former European Tour player in his "rookie" season as a senior, closed with a 65 for a share of 11th place on seven under par, his best result of the season.
CHALLENGE TOUR: England's Matthew King produced a brilliant final round of eight-under-par 64 to claim a share of second place at the Vodafone Challenge in Germany and with it find some light at the end of what has been an increasingly dark tunnel for the talented Lincolnshire golfer.
Germany's Martin Kaymer captured the first prize of €19,200 with a of 18-under-par 270, two clear of King and Spain's Alvaro Quiros.
King lost his girlfriend to cancer during 2005 and in the emotional turmoil that inevitably followed, he also lost his standing on the European Tour after finishing the season in 228th place on the Order of Merit.
That prompted a return to the Challenge Tour, where his season has been a tale of missed cuts and lowly finishes.
However, the story changed for the better at Elfrather Muhle Golf Club near Dusseldorf with King firing rounds of 74-68-66-64 for a 16-under-par total and a cheque worth €10,800.
LET: Annika Sorenstam treated her home club crowd to a special day out when she holed a six-foot birdie putt at the final hole to retain the Scandinavian TPC at Bro-Balsta in Sweden.
After a weekend's dual with world number two Lorena Ochoa, the 35-year-old world number one shot a final round, course record-equalling eight-under-par 65 - including six birdies and an eagle - to win by a shot on 21-under par 271.
Ochoa had a 66, and looked set to push the entertainment into extra time when she holed a six-foot putt for an eagle at the long 17th.
But Sorenstam, the host and a club member for 24 years, completed a run of three closing birdies before celebrating by jumping into the pond.
