WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) -Anthony Kim has won the Kiwi Challenge golf tournament despite making a bogey in a playoff, beating fellow American Sean O'Hair to win the $1 million check at Cape Kidnappers.

Kim shot a 5-under 66 on Thursday and was leading over the back nine until O'Hair made a birdie on the 18th hole for a 3-under 69 to force a playoff in the 36-hole exhibition for players under 30.

O'Hair found trouble left of the 650-yard 15th hole and made a double bogey, allowing Kim to win by taking four shots to reach the green and two-putting for a bogey.
