Jointly in the lead with him were Malaysian Nicolas Fung (63) and American Sam Chen (65).

The trio then fought it out in a playoff where Fung was the first to be eliminated after missing a birdie. Chawrasia held his nerves in the showdown with Chen to win the USD
1,000,000 tournament.


This is Chawrasia's fourth Asian Tour triumph besides the three wins on the European Tour.
