Chawrasia triumphs

SSP Chawrasia won his first Asian Tour title outside of India yesterday in a thrilling finale to the Manila Masters, hitting a birdie to win a three-way playoff. The 38-year-old hit a 6 under in the final round to finish at 19 under alongside Malaysia’s Nicholas Fung and Sam Chien of the US. But it was Chawrasia, who had won four titles on the Asian Tour in his home country but none abroad, who managed his nerves the best in the extra holes. Fung went out in the first extra hole with a bogey. Then Chien hit his drive into the rough on the second playoff, while Chawrasia played flawless golf with his birdie.
