This could be a kind of weird day in pro golf with Kevin Na leading the Colonial and Byeong Hun An or Ben An just winning the BMW PGA Championship by a whopping 6 strokes after posting a sparkling -7 65. Na, An... get it ??
His -21 total beat the previous tournament record by two shots, finishing six ahead of veterans Miguel Angel Jiménez (67) and Thongchai Jaidee (69). Lanky 6'6" Chris Wood was two shots further back in fourth after a closing 66 which included winning a BMW i8 for a hole-in-one on the 14th, a tournament-record fifth ace of the week.
An is a South Korean who moved to the States and became the youngest winner of the US Amateur Championship in 2009 at the age of 17 - moves from 132nd in the Official World Golf Ranking to inside the top 60 as a result, securing his place in the US Open and Open Championship.
Becomes the first player to win the BMW PGA Championship on their debut since Scott Drummond in 2004 and it's his first win on this tour. He is also the first Asian to win this flagship event.
