Ian Poulter wins Hong Kong open by one stroke

England's Ian Poulter won his second title of the year with a one-stroke victory in the Hong Kong Open.
The overnight leader bogeyed the last hole but still finished ahead of fellow Englishman Simon Dyson, who shared second with Matteo Manassero.
Poulter's final round of 67 saw him end the event on 22 under par, holding off 17-year-old Manassero, who carded a 62.
Northern Ireland's Graeme McDowell began the day two behind but carded a 68 to finish three adrift in fifth.
American Anthony Kang ended the tournament in fourth, while Rory McIlroy, who was runner-up in 2008 and 2009, had a final-round 67 to finish sixth.
Apart from the two-putt at the last and a bogey at the third, Poulter produced another impressive round - after a 60 on day two - which included three birdies and an eagle on the par-five 13th.
The 34-year-old's win was his 10th victory on the European Tour and took him back into world's top 10.

Poulter is confident he can climb even higher, but after causing a stir two years ago by insisting he was the only serious challenger to then number one Tiger Woods when at his best, the Hertfordshire star is not getting carried away.

I'll try and win next week first (at the Dubai World Championship)," he said.
"I'm not playing the game saying, 'I'm going to get to number one'. I tried that once before and it didn't work.
"I think I'll just try winning next week and see how high I can go. Tiger has dropped a lot of points and (Lee) Westwood is world number one but if I keep playing well, then who knows? I could get up there."
McDowell is the only man who can overhaul Germany's Martin Kaymer in the European Tour standings - the Race to Dubai - with one event left.
Kaymer did not play in Hong Kong and a win for McDowell could have seen the US Open champion close to within about 68,000 euros (£58,000) of the 25-year-old German.
Instead, McDowell goes to the Dubai World Championship having to make up about 290,000 euros (£249,000) on Kaymer with 914,000 euros available for the winner.
"I'm within touching distance now of next week," said McDowell. "I have a few things to brush up on before Thursday, but all in all, I'm driving the ball great, which is key to next week and I'm feeling really good about my game.
"I'm playing well enough to win next week and that's all I can ask. I can't control his ball - I can only control mine."

golf - McIlroy lies one shot behind leader Brown in Hong Kong

Rory McIlroy carded a first-round
63 in the Hong Kong Open to lie one shot off leader Mark Brown from New Zealand.
Northern Ireland's McIlroy fired eight birdies and a bogey to join India's Jeev Milkha Singh in second spot, one stroke ahead of England's Simon Dyson.
Dyson, winner in Hong Kong in 2000, shot a hole in one on the 12th.
Graeme McDowell, looking to close the gap on Martin Kaymer in the Race to Dubai, shot 65 to be four shots off the pace in a group of five players.
Northern Ireland's McDowell was trailing Kaymer by £313,000 going into the European Tour's penultimate tournament.
But with the German skipping the event, which offers a £265,000 top prize, McDowell can steal a march going into next week's Dubai World Championship.
McDowell performed well in Thursday's opening round at the Hong Kong Golf Club to sit in fourth place alongside Irishman Damien McGrane, Wales' Rhys Davies, England's Oliver Wilson and South Korea's Nam Young.

Defending champion Gregory
Bourdy from France finished the day on four under, while one of Europe's Ryder Cup stars, Ian Poulter, was one shot further back on three under.
Dyson was delighted with his early efforts and will be one of the favourites to succeed again, 10 years after winning at the same tournament.
"Having done what I did in 2000, every time I came out here after that people who used to say 'Dyson is fancied out here' and it kind of gave me the mentality that I was," said the world number 78 from York.
"A lot of my good results have been out here. I have got a few seconds and few thirds and I won the Indonesian Open - a joint-sanctioned European and Asian Tour event.
"There is a slight breeze which is nice, the greens are rolling as good as I have ever seen them roll here, so the course is excellent and the weather even better."
Europe's Ryder Cup skipper Colin Montgomerie scored a one-under 69.
