Having stated his desire to play in the 2015 Presidents Cup when it makes its visit to his native South Korea in exactly one year’s time, 28-year-old Sang-Moon Bae got his crusade off to a flying start by winning the first event of the 2014-15 PGA Tour campaign at the Frys.com Open, in Napa.  From the moment he tied for the first round lead with a six-under-par 66, Bae looked very much like a contender, and a second round 69 did little to diminish his form.  He took firm control of the event on Saturday, however, moving himself squarely to the front with five consecutive birdies at holes 2-6, then, following bogeys at the 7th and 13th, adding a birdie at the 15th, an eagle at the par-4 17th (where the tee was set at 292 yards) and a closing birdie at the par-5 18th, good enough for a 65 and a four-shot lead over rookie Zac Blair.  Initially Sunday looked like more of the same, as Bae turned in one-under-par 35 and stood a robust six shots ahead through 10 holes.  But a trio of three-putt bogeys (partially offset by a birdie at the 12th) brought him back within sight of the field, and especially within the sights of Steven Bowditch, who played his final 10 holes six under par to close with 67, and a 275 aggregate.  At the par-5 16th, Bae looked like perhaps giving one more back after his third finished over the green, but a clutch up-and-down kept his lead at two which, following routine pars at the 17th and 18th, would ultimately prove his margin of victory………………In an event shortened to 36 holes by unremitting rains, 24-year-old Alexander Levy became the first Frenchman to win two European Tour events in the same season but claiming a three-shot victory at the Portugal Masters.  Levy began the week in fast form, birdieing five of his first seven holes on the soft Oceanico Victoria course en route to a front nine 30, then came home in 33 to join Scotland’s Scott Jamieson and Spain’s Adrian Otaegui on 63 – which, surprisingly found them a full three strokes off of the lead.  This was because former Ryder Cup player Nicolas Colsaerts simply overpowered the golf course, posing seven birdies over his first 12 holes, then adding eagles at the 315-yard 15th and the 589-yard 17th before narrowly missing an 18-foot birdie putt at the last for 59; instead of becoming the E Tour’s first man to break 60, he instead became the 19th man to equal it.  The rains then came hard on Friday and now it was Levy’s turn for heroics.  Playing early, he methodically carded five birdies on each nine en route to a 10-under-par 61, posting his 18-under-par 124 total before play was called for the day.  Colsaerts would complete a second round 67 on Saturday morning to trail by three, and in the end, save for one initial hole on Sunday before the skies opened up again, that would be all the golf that either man would play for the duration.  With a total of 75 millimeters worth of rain during tournament week, the decision was first made to play only 54 holes, then, after Sunday’s early deluge, that was revised to 36, with Levy being declared the winner………………South Korea's 27-year-old In-Hoi Hur claimed his first career victory on the Japan Tour in grand style, completing a record-setting wire-to-wire victory at the Toshin Golf Tournament in Gifu.  Hur put his stamp on the event early, recording but a single bogey during opening rounds of 64-63, which staked him to a three-shot halfway lead.  He then added a bogey-free 66 on Saturday to extend his lead to four - and it was only that close because Seung-Hyuk Kim, a winner of last week's Tokai Classic - carded a dazzling 61 to move within shouting distance.  Kim put on a bit of Sunday pressure by closing with a 67 but Hur was not to be headed, opening with three birdies over his first six holes en route to turning in 33, then methodically coming home in 34 (punctuated by a birdie at the par-5 closer) to win by four..................Port Elizabeth area native Titch Moore captured the inaugural playing of the Sun Boardwalk Golf Challenge, birdieing the final hole to claim a one-shot triumph over countryman Roberto Lupini and England’s Steve Surry.  Originally scheduled for 54 holes, the tournament was shortened to 36 after heavy winds blew away Thursday’s second round, meaning that former Big Easy Tour star Lupini began the final round with a two-stroke lead after posting a wild Wednesday 68 that included eight birdies, two bogeys and a double-bogey at the par-4 13th.  But facing a chance to log his first Sunshine Tour victory, the 31-year-old Lupini never quite got it going, bogeying the 4th and 5th holes to surrender his lead, then playing one-under-par golf thereafter to finish with a 73, and a 141 total.  Moore, meanwhile, moved into the lead with a birdie at the 4th en route to turning in one-under-par 34, then strung together eight straight back nine pars before his timely birdie at the Humewood Country Club’s 401-yard finisher saw him home in 140………………Nineteen-year-old Hao-Tong Li, a professional on the developmental PGA Tour China, broke through for his first major tour victory at the OneAsia circuit’s China Masters, cruising to a four-shot triumph over his home course at the Nanshan International Golf Club.  Coming off an eight-shot runaway win on the PGA Tour-sponsored developmental circuit a week earlier, Li tore out to a fast start in Shanghai, following an opening 68 with a bogey-free Friday 65 that opened up a three-shot lead over New Zealand’s Nick Gillespie and Garrett Sapp of the United States.  Though both pursuers fell off the pace on Saturday, Li’s 72 left the door somewhat open as Korean Yi-Keun Chang (65) and Australian Rhein Gibson (69) each closed within one.  But on a windy Sunday which saw gusts up to 40 miles per hour, Li played his first 10 holes even par, stumbled briefly with a double-bogey at the par-3 11th, then stepped on the gas with birdies at the 14th, 15th and 17th to pull away to victory.
