Ian Snyman closed with his second five-under-par 67 of the week on Sunday to finish the Asian Tour’s Black Mountain Championship in a share of 14th at Black Mountain Golf Club in Thailand.
He made six birdies during his closing round, after picking up his first on the second hole. He immediately made his only bogey of the round after that on the third, but he was faultless after that as he moved to 17-under-par for the week.
He ended up six strokes behind the winning total of 23-under-par. Unheralded Michael Maguire from the United States denied his in-form compatriot John Catlin a third victory of the year following a dramatic sudden-death play-off in heavy rain on the par-five 18th.
Maguire, in just his second season on the Asian Tour and without a win in the professional game, made par on the second play-off hole to take the title after Asian Tour and The International Series number one Catlin missed his 15-footer for par. Both players made birdie on the first play-off hole, where Catlin, with a short birdie putt, appeared to have won before his opponent sensationally holed a 20-footer for a four from the fringe.
Jaco Ahlers had a closing four-under-par 68 to finish in a share of 28th on 14-under-par, while David Meyers had a three-over 75 in the final round to finish on one-under-par in 69th.
