China’s Liang Wenon-Chg parred the 18th hole to beat Malaysia’s Iain Steel on the first hole of a sudden-death play-off to win the joint-sanctioned Singapore Masters on Sunday.
The 28-year-old Liang’s maiden victory outside China ensured he became the second Chinese player to win on the European Tour, emulating Zhang Lian-wei, who captured the same event in 2003.
The duo finished the $1,1-million European and Asian Tour event on 11 under par for the tournament, a stroke clear of Britain’s Simon Dyson, who was alone in third place after he missed a 20-foot birdie attempt at the last by inches.
Frenchman Jean Van de Velde and Britons David Lynn, Anthony Wall and 2005 champion Nick Dougherty ended the tournament in a tie for fourth place on nine under par. — Reuters
