Kim downs Taylor in Houston playoff

Mon, 04/05/2010 - 10:31 by Rakhi

Houston -- Anthony Kim's par on the first playoff hole Sunday was enough to down Vaughn Taylor and lift Kim to the Houston Open championship.

The two golfers went back to the 18th hole for the playoff. Kim two-putted from just inside 30 feet for par. Taylor, who landed in sand on his second and third shots, couldn't manage to save par with a 17-foot shot from the greenside bunker, handing the win to Kim.

Kim fired a 2-under 70 Sunday to pull into a tie with Taylor, who posted a 4-under 68, at 12-under 276.

The win was Kim's third on the PGA Tour and first since 2008 -- when he took both the Wachovia Championship and the AT&T National. He goes into The Masters with considerable momentum.

Both golfers sported 10-under 206s and were two strokes ahead of Vaughn Taylor (70) and Joe Ogilvie (71) at the Tournament Course at Redstone Golf Club in Houston.

Kim and Molder finished in knotted for first after both made exciting par saves on the 18th hole. Kim landed in the fairway but his approach shot barely avoided a water hazard and stopped 90 feet from the stick. His birdie putt try when seven feet past the hole, but holed the comebacker for par.

Casares, Spain -- Anthony Kim, whose game has suddenly reappeared after a poor season, won twice Thursday at the Volvo World Match Play Championship.
