03/07/2010 - Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Seung-yul Noh got up and down for birdie on the final hole Sunday to fend off K.J. Choi and win the Malaysian Open by a single stroke.
The South Korean Noh shot four-under 68 and completed his first European Tour title at 14-under-par 274.
"I first won on the Asian Tour in 2008, but I struggled last year, so to win early in this year I am very happy," Noh stated. "Coincidentally, when I was playing a practice round with K.J. earlier in the week he asked me when my last win was and when I told him it was in 2008 he said, 'Isn't it about time you won?' For it to happen this week, I couldn't think of a better situation."
Choi also birdied the last to post three-under 69, which left him at minus-13.
Rhys Davies and Kiradech Aphibarnrat shared the lead entering the final round at Kuala Lumpur Golf & Country Club, but closed with one-under 71s to share third place with Soren Hansen (70) at 12-under-par 276.
With as many as six different players owning a piece of the lead during the final round, Noh made a late move to grab the win.
Noh chipped in for birdie on the first to grab a share of the lead. He fell behind as he parred the next three holes, but again moved into a share of the lead with a birdie on the par-five fifth.
The South Korean parred five in a row from the sixth before a birdie on No. 11 gave him a piece of the lead with Choi and Aphibarnrat.
Noh fell one behind as he faltered to a bogey on the par-four 13th. He showed his mettle though with a birdie on 16 to regain a share of the lead. Choi then bogeyed the 17th to give Noh the lead by himself.
Choi fought back with his first birdie of the week on the par-five closing hole to match Noh at minus-13.
The 18-year-old held off Choi, a seven-time winner on the PGA Tour, with a four-foot birdie putt at the last to claim his first European Tour win.
"I'm not disappointed at all. I played well and tried my best," said Choi. "Hats off to Seung-yul, he played well and had a fantastic round. I'm happy with how my game has improved and I have a lot to look forward to."
Danny Willett closed with back-to-back rounds of four-under 68 to end alone in sixth place at 11-under-par 277. Thongchai Jaidee (72) and Johan Edfors (71) were one stroke further back at minus-10.
NOTES: Anthony Kang, the 2009 champion, finished at even-par 288 after posting a 72 on Sunday...Two-time champion Arjun Atwal carded a three-under 69 Sunday to share 28th place at minus-three...The European Tour heads to the United States next week for the WGC - CA Championship, where Phil Mickelson is the defending champion...The following week the tour is in Morocco for the Hassan II Golf Trophy, where Ernie Els won last year.

In the wake of the news that the 49ers have signed receiver Michael Crabtree after an extended holdout, there has been not a hint of the dollars to be paid to Crabtree.
And since this means that his agent hasn't leaked the numbers, it means that his agent feels no specific motivation to do so.
Possibly because his agent isn't all that thrilled to have his name on the deal.
So the numbers will come from sources other than Crabtree's agent. And we've gotten our mitts into them.
Per a league source, Crabtree has signed a six-year, $32 million contract. (The total includes guaranteed money, base salaries, and the one-time incentive based on achieving minimum playing time.)
The deal also includes $17 million in guaranteed money.
As reported elsewhere, the deal can void to five years based on performance triggers, wiping out a final year base salary of $4 million. But they won't be easily reached.
The source tells us that, in his first four seasons (including 2009), Crabtree must either qualify for two Pro Bowls, or he must qualify for one Pro Bowl in one year and he must participate in 80 percent of the offensive snaps in a separate year in which the team makes the playoffs.
In other words, if in 2010 he qualifies for the Pro Bowl and the team makes the playoffs and he participates in 80 percent of the snaps, he'll still need to make it to the Pro Bowl or achieve the 80-percent/playoffs in another season.
Since the chances of Crabtree making the Pro Bowl or participating in 80 percent of the offensive snaps this year is roughly zero percent, he'll have three years to get it done.
And it won't be easy. Frankly, he'll be hard pressed to make it to one Pro Bowl in three years with the likes of Larry Fitzgerald, Calvin Johnson, Anquan Boldin, Steve Smith, the other Steve Smith, Hakeem Nicks, DeSean Jackson, Johnny Knox, Percy Harvin, Greg Jennings, Roddy White, T.J. Houshmandzadeh in the same conference for sportsbook betting.
So, by all appearances, it's a six-year deal. And at $17 million in guaranteed money, the per-year guarantee is a tepid $2.83 million per year.
There's another problem with the deal -- it has no mid-tier incentive package. Instead, the additional $8 million that Crabtree can earn (pushing the max value to six years, $40 million) requires the kind of unrealistic, mega-star performances that no rookie is likely to ever achieve.
So while the contract paid to Packers defensive tackle B.J. Raji covers five years and pays $22.5 million, he has the ability (if he's a solid player) to make up the difference between his base deal and Crabtree's five-year, $28 million haul via the mid-tier incentive package in Raji's deal.
And unless Crabtree meets the performance thresholds necessary to void the sixth year, he'll be stuck under contract for another year at a base salary of only $4 million.
There's one other area of concern with the deal. Crabtree, per the source, received no option bonus. Instead, he has significant money tied to a fairly new device known as a "discretionary salary advance," which unlike an opition bonus is subject to forfeiture if Crabtree decides in a year or two that he wants to hold out for a better deal. (We're also told that the 49ers have included language that would make certain escalators subject to forfeiture, too.)
Meanwhile, the deal falls well short of the mark for which Crabtree and agent Eugene Parker were aiming -- the five-year, $38.25 million contract paid by the Raiders to receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey, the seventh overall pick in the draft.
Even if Crabtree successfully voids the final year, he'll make more than $2 million per year less on average than Heyward-Bey.
Thus, as we explained earlier in the day, this is a deal that Crabtree could have done in July, which would have given him a much better chance of making a contribution to the 49ers during his rookie year.
So while the final outcome can be described as win-win, the broader view suggests that it's really a lose-lose situation.
