GOLF ROUNDUP : Peoples a Wire-to-Wire Winner at Kapalua

David Peoples, who led every round, collected his first victory as a professional Saturday, setting a Kapalua International tournament record in the process.

Closing with a round of five-under-par 66, Peoples finished the $700,000 event at 264, 20 under par and five shots better than Davis Love III. The previous record at the par-71 Bay Course was 266, set in 1984 by Sandy Lyle and tied in 1988 by Bob Gilder.

The victory was good for $150,000 for Peoples, who has been through the qualifying school nine times.

Defending champion Jose Maria Olazabal of Spain overcame strong, gusty winds for a three-under-par 69 and a five-shot lead after three rounds in the $1-million Visa Taiheiyo Club Masters Tournament at Gotemba, Japan.

At 13-under-par 203 over the 7,072-yard, par-72 Taiheiyo Club course, Olazabal had a big margin over Japan’s Jumbo Ozaki, amateur Shigeki Maruyama and Germany’s Bernhard Langer.

U.S. senior golfers won all four of their matches against their Japanese counterparts and took a 9-7 lead after the second round of the $500,000 Du Pont Cup Seniors team tournament at Batoh, Japan.
