BATTLING SNYDER WINS PGM NORTHPORT GLENMARIE CHAMPIONSHIP

-
​Blake Snyder of the United States secured his first Asian Development Tour (ADT) title after an intense battle with Malaysia's Gavin Green at the PGM Northport Glenmarie Championship on Saturday.
 
The 23-year-old rookie fought back from five shots down at the start of the day to finish on two-under-par 70 after making a double bogey on the last hole for a 13-under-par 275 total at the Glenmarie Golf and Country Club.
 
Overnight leader Green bogeyed the last hole for a disappointing 76 to settle for second,  one shot back from the champion at the RM200,000 (approximately US$55,400) ADT event.

Snyder, who fired an ace in the second round, was level with Green after 12 holes and moved into a two-shot lead with birdies on holes 14 and 15. His lead was cut by one when he bogeyed 16 but he bounced back swiftly with a clutch 35-foot birdie on the next hole.
 
With the highly rated Malaysian hot on his heels, Snyder was almost forced into a play-off when a plugged ball in the greenside bunker resulted in a double bogey. But Green missed his par chance as the American sealed the deal.
