KUALA LUMPUR: Australia’s Scott Hend won the Maybank Championship in Kuala Lumpur Sunday, edging Spain’s Nacho Elvira in a sensational playoff after tropical thunderstorms halted play for two hours.
Rain hit the course in the final round at the Saujana Golf and Country Club with the last group on the 18th green. Hend had looked the favourite after posting six birdies to take a single shot lead heading into the final hole, but the deluge precipitated a resurgence by overnight leader Elvira.
The Spaniard sensationally drove home a 30 foot birdie to match Hend’s 15-under-par 273 after the restart of play. Hend kept his cool to find the fairway in the first extra hole, paving the way for a birdie and the win.
