Spain’s Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano won the US$1 million Barclays Singapore Open play-off on the second extra hole early on Monday after storms forced the players to endure an agonising overnight wait. The 31-year-old from Madrid seized victory with a nine-foot birdie putt on the par-five 18th hole as opponent Juvic Pagunsan of the Philippines pushed his effort just wide. The conclusion was witnessed by just a smattering of fans at Sentosa Golf Club who braved a 7:30 am start after the play-off was twice interrupted and finally postponed a day earlier amid torrential rain and lightning strikes.
