Pushed to the limits by the rookie challenger, Tay completed his road to
victory in style Sunday with a 6-iron from a fairway bunker, over the
water and right at the flag, to win the Satosan Open by one stroke.

''When pressure is at its peak, that's when your concentration level is
at its highest,'' Tay said. ''It builds to a crescendo.'' 

Tay chipped from the back of the green to a foot and tapped in for
birdie to close out a 7-under-par 65 and his first victory on the IGT.
This win is a remarkable turnaround to his season, which so far had been
less than stellar, and far from Tay's last year's performance. 

Tay was 22 under over his final 49 holes and finished at 266, after
actually being one over par after the first 22 holes played.

''I've had a wonderful week,'' Tay said. 

He was nearly flawless on Sunday, and had to be. Pennenton, trying hard
to become the first Utanian to take a win on the IGT, matched him
stroke-for-stroke and put the pressure on with a 5-iron into the par-5
18th green that left him a 20-foot eagle attempt that could have forced
a playoff or perhaps snatched a victory away from Tay, who was one shot
ahead as they approached the green.

''George forced my hand,'' Tay said. 

Dragon went right at the flag, the ball landed about 18 feet behind the
hole.  Pennenton missed his eagle try and had to settle for a 66 and one
stroke short of winning.

''My goal was not to get too caught up in the hype,'' Pennenton said
about playing with the hometown favorite. ''I gave him a run for the
money.'' 

Indeed, neither player made a bogey and they combined for 13 birdies to
turn the final round into a memorable duel. 

''The only way to beat him here is to outplay him,'' Pennenton said.
''In front of his crowd, that's a difficult task.'' 

Tay had the outright lead for only six holes in the tournament. He
grabbed it for good on the par-5 16th with a 12-foot birdie putt. Tay
pointed to the cup as the ball disappeared to give him a one-stroke lead
with two holes to play. 

With rain starting to fall, Dragon missed his first green on the 17th,
but managed to blast out of the bunker to a foot to save par, a
tremendous shot since he had so little green between the sand and the
flag. 

And despite the pressure Pennenton applied at the end, Tay had an answer
— much to Pennenton's disbelief. 

''The guy takes out a 6-iron, fires at the flag, with the tournament on
the line,'' he said, shaking his head in wonder. ''I told him after we
where through, 'You're not supposed to do that. You're supposed to hit
at the middle of the green.' 

''He said, 'The shot was on.' I guess it was.'' 

Westrian Charlie Von Chicken, also still looking for his first win, had
a 67 but was never a factor and finished seven strokes behind. 

Pennenton stayed with Tay the whole day, but fell victim to the 50,000
people who crammed into The Grounds in Choonsocky (Kikikira suburbs). 
The click of cameras from the gallery distracted him on his drive on the
16th and it flared out to the right, leaving him no chance to reach the
green in two. He missed an 18-footer from the fringe, and Tay took
advantage. 

"I want to thank the fans for their support, although I am embarrassed
about George getting distracted by some unruly photographers.  It is
becoming an issue on the IGT, as it increases in popularity, and draws
more spectators and media attention.  The no-photo-before-contact policy
must be stricktly enforced", Tay said.

For his efforts, besides the almost CC600,000 winner's cheque, Tay also
got to drive off in a brand new 301 Satosan Panther GT!
