“Tom Watson is one of golf’s all-time great champions and gentlemen. Given his incredible pedigree with five Claret Jugs and eight major championships, Tom is the ideal choice to bring the Ryder Cup back to the United States – as he did in 1993,” said John Ward, Adams Golf President. “Tom’s strong competitive drive and golf acumen have been instrumental in making Adams Golf stronger throughout the 13 years he has been our ambassador.

Guan, 14, wins Asia-Pacific Am; gets Masters bid

Golf Talk Central by Will Gray

Chinese teen sensation Tianlang Guan made history Sunday by capturing the Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship and an invitation to the Masters in the process.

Guan, 14, fired a 1-under 71 Sunday at Amata Spring Country Club in Chonburi, Thailand, to finish the event at 15-under 273 and hang on for a one-stroke victory. The youngest player in this week’s field, Guan completed a wire-to-wire victory and will become the youngest competitor in the history of The Masters.

Guan will be 14 years, five months and 17 days when he tees it up at Augusta National next April. The previous record was established by Matteo Manassero in 2010, when the 16-year-old earned an invitation after winning the British Amateur Championship in 2009.

“I’m excited. I’m really happy to become the youngest player at the Masters and look forward to going there,” Guan said after the round. “I don’t know what’s going to happen there, but I know I just want to do well.”

Guan began the day with a two-stroke lead and saw his advantage balloon to five during Sunday’s final round. Once Pan Cheng-tsung of Chinese Taipei, the No. 2 amateur in Asia, closed with a 7-under 65, Guan’s lead was trimmed to one shot as he played the final hole. After his chip rolled five feet past the hole, Guan calmly holed his par putt for the historic win.

Both Guan and Cheng-tsung will also receive a spot in International Final Qualifying for the 2013 British Open.

Australian teen Oliver Goss, who entered the final round in second place, finished in third at 12-under, three shots behind Guan. Two-time defending champion Hideki Matsuyama, Asia’s top-ranked amateur, closed with a 4-under 68 to finish fourth at 10 under.

Ian Poulter Wins HSBC China

Associated Press – Nov 4, 2012 10:03 AM ET

SHENZHEN, China – Ian Poulter showed he can be a star even when playing only for himself.

One month after leading an improbable European rally in the Ryder Cup, Poulter won for the first time this year. He closed with a 7-under 65 Sunday to come from four shots behind and win the HSBC Champions for his second career World Golf Championships title.

It won’t overshadow what he did at Medinah in the Ryder Cup -– five straight birdies to pick up a crucial point in fourballs and winning his singles match to complete a 4-0 week. Even so, it was important to the Englishman that the year not pass without a victory of his own.
