BANGKOK, Thailand -- Lee Westwood of England completed a comprehensive victory in the Thailand Golf Championship on Sunday, shooting a 3-under 69 to beat his nearest rival Charl Schwartzel of South Africa by seven shots at the Amata Spring Country Club.
New York Giants Super Bowl Jersey . Westwood finished the tournament with a 22-under total of 266 for his fourth title of the year. "It means a lot, any win does," Westwood said. "Its special this week because of the difficulty of the golf course, who I was up against in the weekend. "Charl is the Masters champion and he has had a great year. The fact that I led wire to wire -- 60 in the first round and 64 in the second round, 20 under after two rounds -- its yours to lose really with an 11-shot lead. There was pressured involved." Although he never managed to catch Westwood at the top of the leaderboard, Masters champion Schwartzel closed to within two after he eagled the 11th and birdied the next when he sank a 30-foot putt. That was as close as Schwartzel would get as Westwood also birdied the 12th to extend his lead to three before stretching the gap with birdies on Nos. 13 and 15. "It was a tough day. The wind probably blew the hardest today compared to the last three rounds," Sshwartzel said. "I played great. If it wasnt for Lee, I would have probably won the tournament." Former world amateur champion Michael Thompson (70) of the United States was third on 274. Simon Dyson of England sank six birdies against three bogeys for a final-round 69 and a 12-under 276 to settle for a share of fourth with Thailands Chawalit Plaphol (67). Japans Daisuke Maruyama (70) and Dutchman Guido Van Der Valk (73) finished on 279, three more strokes back in sixth.

It seems Richards has made headlines for the wrong reasons the last two days answering questions regarding the hit he laid on Buffalo Sabres center Tim Connolly that will force the latter to the sidelines on Tuesday for Game 7 of his teams Eastern Conference quarterfinal-round series here at Wells Fargo Center. Tweet SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Neil Young was one of the 17,562 at HP Pavilion on Wednesday night, but even he stopped rocking when Chris Stewart scored with 49.3 seconds left in the third period in the Colorado Avalanches 2-1 win against the San Jose Sharks in a Game 1 upset. Suddenly, the Sharks -- the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference -- find themselves in a must-win situation in Game 2 on Friday night as they hope to even this series up before it shifts to Denver on Sunday for Games 3 and 4. Truth be told, no team in recent memory is probably under more pressure heading into the second game of a first-round series on home ice than the Sharks. They are attempting to rid themselves of a dark cloud hanging over a franchise that has won 104 regular-season games since Oct. 2008 but is now 2-5 in playoff contests against No. 8 seeds. San Jose has notched four consecutive 100-point seasons, yet hasnt been past the second round of the playoffs since the NHL returned from a work stoppage in 2005. But when it comes to Game 2 against the Avs on Friday, nobody in the Sharks dressing room was prepared to put a "must-win" label on it. "I dont think we want to put ourselves in that situation verbally," coach Todd McLellan said. "Weve got to get out and establish our game. Weve got to find a way to play in their zone much more quicker and much more often than we did last night. If we do that we feel comfortable well get enough opportunities that eventually will go in." San Jose had some opportunities early, as it fired six shots on a goal during a power play it received less than a minute into the game. But it fired a total of three in the second period, and first-line weapons Dany Heatley and Patrick Marleau combined for three shots in the whole night. "I dont know if its must-win, but it would feel a lot better going tied up to their building than down two," said Marleau, who paced the team with 44 goals during the regular season. "Each games big. We want to win." It will take a 60-minute effort to accomplish that -- something the Sharks weere unable to put forth on Wednesday.
Deion Branch Jersey. Colorado dominated the middle 20 minutes, rarely allowing the Sharks to carry the puck up ice into the Avs zone. "I dont think were in a must-win by any means," San Jose captain Rob Blake said. "But we need to play better and be more effective through the neutral zone, and well get to that point. We were stronger in the third period, but we need to sustain that throughout the game." Sharks winger Devin Setoguchi -- the teams best forward in Game 1 -- believes his team simply just needs to do a better job of burying its chances. "Its definitely one where we want to win," Setoguchi said. "But you need four to win a series. A must-win would be where were down three. Obviously, its a big game for us and we know what we need to do. But we dont go into it thinking its do-or-die. We go and we stick to our game plan and just play with some urgency and do what we can control." One thing the Sharks can control is the ability to not allow the "Here we go again" syndrome to make its way around the dressing room. So far, so good. "Youve just got to be mentally tough," said Blake, who won a Stanley Cup with Colorado in 2001. "Weve got to understand that its a seven-game series." "Weve got a good veteran team," center Joe Thornton said. "Weve done it all year long and weve got to stick to it. Nothing abnormal in this locker room." Obviously, talk of the Sharks postseason woes wont go away until they do something about it. With another sold-out crowd expected at HP Pavilion for Game 2 on Friday night, another opportunity will be provided for McLellans club to quiet the critics. "Its a seven-game series," McLellan said. "We knew coming in this wasnt going to be an easy task for us by any means. The 1-8 scenario, the pressure of the past that we get asked about all the time … but theyre a good hockey club. We know that and we respect them for it. This is the first opportunity to overcome. Lets see if we can." Follow Brian Compton on Twitter: @BComptonNHL ' ' '
