Corrections and Clarifications

A golf report on the Malaysian amateur Open golf tournament, "Rashid ends up third" ("Sport", May 25, 2009), should have said that Taiwan's Pei-Ying Tsai returned with a two-over 74 for a three-day total of five-over 221 to win the title and not 271 as reported by PTI.
