SEOUL: South Korean golfer Park Sang-hyun on Sunday clinched victory at the Asian Tour's GS Caltex Maekyung Open for the second time after beating compatriot Chang Yi-keun in a nail-biting playoff.
Park went head-to-head with fellow South Koreans Chang and Hwang Jung-gon, together with India's Gaganjeet Bhullar, after all four closed the final round at a one-under-par 283 at the Namseoul Country Club in Seongnam city.
Bhullar fell with a bogey at the first playoff hole before world number 141 Hwang was eliminated on the second with a poorly-played putt -- leaving Park and Chang with a final showdown at the 18th fairway.
World number 214 Park played par in the third round, narrowly defeating Chang who hit a bogey, to give him the win and a cash prize of 200 million won ($186,480).
Park, 35, first won at the Namseoul Country Club in 2016.
