Ryan Moore successfully defended his CIMB Classic title in Malaysia on Sunday, as fellow American Gary Woodland again had to settle for second place. Moore, who beat Woodland in a play-off at Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country Club 12 months ago, carded a closing 67 to finish 17 under par, three shots ahead of Woodland, Kevin Na and Spain’s Sergio García.

“It’s been a great week,” said Moore, who recorded eight birdies and three bogeys after beginning the lebron james pantofole scarpe final round tied for the lead with Na. “I’m a little bit lost for words right now. To come back and defend like this, that’s something I have never done so it makes it that much more special.

“To do it the way I did, hitting some great shots coming down the stretch and making some birdies when I needed to, is great. Last year was a lot more stressful. I had to get up and down from 65 yards just to get into a play-off. I got to enjoy this more, although I was still making it a little bit too interesting.”

Woodland also carded a closing 67 with six birdies and just one bogey on the par-five 18th, while Na birdied four of his first nine holes but then bogeyed the 13th and ran up a double-bogey six on the 17th to end his chances.

García was also left to rue a lebron james pantofole scarpe costly double-bogey, in his case on the par-five 10th after a front nine of 33, although he bounced back with birdies on the 11th and 14th to post a final round of 69.

“Congrats to e, hit some great shots coming in!” the Spaniard tweeted. “I felt like I had a good chance but the lost ball on 10 didn’t help. We’ll keep at it!”

Ryder Cup team-mate Lee Westwood, who won the Malaysian Open on the same course in April, finished in a tie for 13th after a closing 68, having hit a hole in one earlier in the week.
