It was redemption time for Chinese-Taipei’s Wang Wei-hsuan (main picture), who won the $1 million SJM Macao Open in a playoff, having lost the tournament last year in extra holes.
The 27-year-old Wang chipped in for a stunning eagle on the 18th hole in regulation to go one ahead of Korean superstar Sungjae Im at 17-under par.
Im levelled the scores with a birdie, but Wang then birdied the first extra hole to win his first title on the Asian Tour.

At Macau Golf & Country Club, Wang made full use of the three par-5s on the back nine, making birdies on the 12th and 13th before the eagle on the 18th.
Im edged ahead with a birdie on the 15th, but immediately handed back the advantage on the next hole.
He then birdied the last two holes, but Wang’s magic chip from the edge of the green tied them up.
America’s Charles Porter defied illness and shot the lowest round of the tournament, a nine-under 61, to jump to solo third place at 14-under, one ahead of compatriot Austen Truslow (64).
China’s Wu Ashun and Thailand’s Danthai Boonma recorded identical scores of 65 to tie for fifth place.
