FERNANDEZ-CASTANO v PAGUNSAN SINGAPORE OPEN PLAY-OFF

FROM THE EUROPEAN TOUR WEBSITE
Gonzalo Fernandez-Castaño saw a four-shot lead evaporate on the back nine before the Spaniard and Filipino Juvic Pagunsan contested a play-off for the Barclays Singapore Open.
Pagunsan, who drew level with the Spanish overnight leader courtesy of a birdie at the last, split the fairway with his opening drive in the play-off.
Fernandez-Castaño failed to follow suit as he found a bunker, but in a tournament reduced to 54 holes because of bad weather, the pair were then forced off the course once again due to the threat of lightning.
Fernandez-Castaño began the third and final round three clear of Edoardo Molinari and James Morrison, and with an eagle at the par five fourth, a birdie at the sixth and a bogey in between turned four clear of the chasing pack.
But he had three bogeys in four holes from the 12th, and when Pagunsan holed a ten foot birdie putt the recent Castelló Masters runner-up needed a four at the par five last to win.
But he drove into water down the left and ultimately did well to get down in five and force extra holes.

PLAY-OFF SUSPENDED AFTER DRIVES
Pagunsan went first in the play-off, starting at the par-5 18th hole, and found the fairway. Castaño could not follow suit, finding sand. Both then laid up in two shots. However, Mother Nature has struck again with lightning moving into the area and no choice but to suspend the play-off.
