Aguilar wins at Laguna
FELIPE Aguilar surged into the lead at The Championship at Laguna National in Singapore with a stunning back-nine 28 — capped by a birdie on the par-3 17th and an eagle on the par-4 18th — and then had to wait to see if anyone could catch him.
Co-overnight leader Anders Hansen was the last golfer to have a chance, but he failed to birdie his final two holes to force a playoff, giving Aguilar his first European Tour title in six years. The Chilean shot a final round 10-under 62 to finish at 22-under 266, one stroke ahead of Hansen and American David Lipsky in joint-second.
“Today I said to my caddie on the 17th after I made a birdie, ‘If we can make a birdie on 18 we can put some pressure on the leader,’ and he said ‘What about making a two?’ I said to him the way I had been hitting the ball I could well do two and I did. It’s very, special,” Aguilar said.
Hansen, who returned to the tour after a six-month layoff due to wrist surgery, had led by three shots after a birdie on the 12th hole but could not match Aguilar’s impressive finish. He bogeyed the 16th and then shot even par on the final two.
