This guy Mark Brown knows how to get hot at the right time ...: Indeed he does. The Kiwi from Lower Hutt shot a 64 in the third round to move into the hunt, then rattled off five birdies in his last seven holes to win this thing.
Does he get the George McNeill Award?: I suppose he does. Not many people knew who he was before today, but now they will.
Looks like a classic finish ...: Not if you're Taichiro Kiyota. The world No. 474, a cricket-loving Japanese, had a four-shot lead with seven holes left. But he made two bogeys coming in, Brown fired in the birdies, and that's Brown with the trophy and a three-shot win.
Pity for Taichiro, but good on Brown. Tell me a bit about him then ...: Well, he's 33 but he gave up golf for three years and took up a teaching job. He was disgusted by his performance. Brown returned to pro golf in 2006, and now he's got two wins in as many weeks. His first pro title came last week on the Asian Tour's SAIL Open in New Delhi, so obviously India suits him ...
A lot better than a teaching job ...: You can say that again.
A lot better than a teaching job ...: Who are you? Gilligan? ... Anyway, this is obviously a huge week for Brown.
What did he have to say about it?: He said: "Let's have a solid nine holes, and the birdies started falling. The rest is a dream."
Nice story ...: And now Brown's exempt on the European Tour through 2010. And he gets his name on the George McNeill ... I mean, Johnnie Walker trophy.
How did Vijay Singh and Adam Scott fare?: Vijay was suffering from a stomach bug and came tied for 17th, while Adam Scott still hasn't done his Me Myself & I interview and finished 30th.
Oh well. They're far too well-known to win this thing ...:
 hey sure are. All the top seven finishers started out of the world's Top 100. Which I suppose rules out Mark Brown for next year ...
