LIN Wen-tang of Chinese Taipei scrambled from the trees on his last two holes to set up an unlikely win at the Solaire Open in Manila and claim his sixth Asian Tour title yesterday.
The overnight leader came up with two remarkable shots on the 17th and 18th to pip Thai veteran Thammanoon Sriroj, who had snatched the lead earlier in the day, and Asian Tour rookie Richard T Lee of Canada by one stroke. Thammanoon's title hopes were dented by bogeys on the 16th and 18th in a final round of 1-over 73, while Lee signed off with a strong 69 for his best Asian Tour finish. Lin's dramatic feat on the last two holes mirrored his previous victory at the 2008 Hong Kong Open where he also needed to hit it over the trees to stay alive in a playoff with Rory McIlroy.
