Golf: Lee wins Volvik Hildesheim Open

SEOUL: South Korea’s Lee In-Woo fended off a challenge from 13-time Asian Tour winner Thaworn Wiratchant of Thailand by closing with a four-under-par 68 to win the first Volvik Hildesheim Open J Golf Series. Lee posted a winning total of 12-under-par 276, putting on hold Thaworn’s quest for a 14th title. “When I took a share of the third round lead, I told myself that this was my chance of winning again and I cannot waste it,” said Lee. “My only victory came in 2005 on the Korean Golf Tour and I badly wanted to win again. What made this victory even sweeter was that I managed to win against a strong field that included players from the Asian Tour.”
