Golf: Na claims first PGA title

LAS VEGAS: South Korean-born American Kevin Na won his first US PGA Tour title of an eight-year career, firing a six-under par 65 to win the Las Vegas Open. Na, previously winless in 210 US PGA events, claimed the top prize by finishing 72 holes on 23-under 261, two strokes atop American Nick Watney. “I went through a lot,” said Na. “I had nightmares finishing second. Other people believed in me more than myself.”
