301 ChenTV IGT Masters
Bayview Golf & Yachting Club, Surina, Westermarc 
SURINA, WESTERMARC ----- As expected, Rod SINCLAIR cruised to a seven-stroke
triumph Sunday at the ChenTV IGT Masters.

Solidly in the lead after the third round, Sinclair fired a 6-under-par 65 at the
Bayview Golf and Yachting Club for a 72-hole total of 19-under 265.

The Whitlamite thus easily outdistanced local favorite "Dragon" TAY, who outdueled
a handful of  golfers to finish second at 12-under 272.

Sinclair put together four rounds in the 60s: "It's something you think about for
a long time. The times I thought about today were the times I practiced when I
didn't want to. You practice all those hours for a moment just like this. ... It's
the strangest, neatest feeling.  I am very pleased to shoot in the sixties every
day and to win so soon after my last one!"

"There isn't a thing I can think of that can make this any better," he said.

Subhas SUNILAM and rookie Jaquese MANDRIN tied for third at 11-under 273, one shot
better than Jeffrey HOVANEC, Pancho McFEELEY and Vance CHOEK.

Sinclair had a two-shot lead after Saturday's 68, which turned out to be his worst
round of the week. He played the first six holes Sunday at even-par but began a
torrid finish with a four-foot birdie putt at the seventh hole.

"When I made bogey on No. 4, it kind of calmed me down," he said. "I felt like I
had nothing to lose. ... I thought about last night, what I'd say if I shot 80 and
I thought about what I'd say if I shot 65."

He bore down on the latter figure with birdies at Nos. 8, 12, 13, 14 and 15 --
none outside 15 feet.

"I was playing solid. The worst thing I could do was try and maneuver shots,"
Sinclair said. "I tried to be aggressive on 16, I didn't want to chicken out. I
asked my caddie what kind of lead I had and he just laughed."

The hiccup at the 16th hole merely delayed the inevitable. Sinclair bounced back
with a flourish at the final hole, leaving his approach two feet from the cup to
set up his eighth birdie of the day.

"I kept saying to myself, `Let's get one more just in case you goof up,'" Sinclair
said.

He didn't, leaving the rest of the field to battle for second place.

"I could have easily packed it in and said it's over, but I hung in there," Tay
said. "My goals have changed a little for me. Now it's to win another tournament. 
Too bad I didn't have a real shot at this one today, Rod was just unstoppable!"
