Huxtable wins Sabah Masters

KOTA KINABLU, Malaysia (AFP): American Robert Huxtable coasted
to a six-stroke win in the US$150,000 Sabah Masters Sunday, able
to laugh off a one-stroke penalty incurred when his caddie
accidentally kicked his ball on the fairway.

Huxtable, six ahead at the start of the day, completed a wire-
to-wire victory at Sutera Harbor Golf and Country Club after
closing with a level-par 72 for a four-round total of 21-under-
par 267.

Rookie professional Thongchai Jaidee of Thailand took second
place after birdieing the last to finish a stroke ahead of
Taiwan's Lin Wen-tang, India's Arjun Atwal and American Greg
Hanrahan.
