TIGERS UNITED

​Anirban Lahiri captured his maiden European Tour title with a narrow one-shot victory over Bernd Wiesberger at the Maybank Malaysian Open . The Indian golf star, started the final day at the Kuala Lumpur Golf & Country Club with five strokes adrift after a superb ten-under 62 in the third round. He fired a four-under final round 68 to finish one stroke clear of the overnight leader. ​The 27 years old Lahiri rolled in a 40-foot birdie putt from off the green on the 17th hole to overcome a five-shot deficit at the start of play. Wiesberger held a two-shot lead over Spain's Alejandro Canizares heading into the final round, but the Austrian faltered, carding a two-over 74 to finish outright second on 15-under. A par on the last from Lahiri left Wiesberger needing to birdie to take the tournament into a play-off, but the Austrian saw his 20-foot putt fall just short.  ​Ranked 73rd before the start of this tounament, Lahiri will now move into the world'

​Bernd Wiesberger completed a brilliant third round to take a two shot lead going into the final round of the Maybank Malaysian Open . The Austrian continued his remarkable form at Kuala Lumpur Golf & Country Club to record the lowest score of his European Tour career. ​After finishing inside the top six at the three Desert Swing events, Wiesberger broke into the Official World Golf Ranking's top 50. He birdied the first five holes today and spent the remainder of the round trading blows with Alejandro Cañizares at the top of the leaderboard. The Spaniard and defending champion Lee Westwood had been three clear of the field at the halfway stage, and when Cañizares pitched in at the 16th for eagle he looked set to grab the upper hand. ​Wiesberger holed a 25 footer for birdie on the same hole to recapture a share of the lead, and turned that into a closing hat-trick of gains to reach 17 under par as he seeks a third European Tour title and first since 2012.

​Defending champions, Lee Westwood stayed strongly on the second day of the US$3 million Maybank Malaysian Open as Alejandro Cañizares joined him atop the leaderboard. A searing hot afternoon did not deter Westwood from playing another great round to stay at first place with Canizares who completed a bogey-free round with seven birdies. ​The 41-year-old Englishman, bidding to become only the second player to win the event three times, posted a five-under-par 67 for a two-day score of 11-under-par 133 which was matched by Spaniard Cañizares, who turned into contention with a brilliant 65 at the Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country Club 's West course. ​Austrian Bernd Wiesberger who secured three consecutive top-six finishes in the Middle East swing, continued his recent outstanding form with a well-earned 66 with seven birdies and climbed up the leader board to 3rd position with eight under par.  ​Irishman Peter Lawrie, playing on a sponsor's invitation, shot a 66 to share third place

​​Lee Westwood continued his love affair with the Maybank Malaysian Open after opening with a brilliant six-under 66 to share the lead with Graeme McDowell today. Westwood won by seven shots here last year and again thrived at the Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country Club , mixing seven birdies with one bogey. Former U.S. Open champion McDowell then joined his Ryder Cup teammate in the lead as both took advantage of the easier morning conditions on a hot and blustery day in Kuala Lumpur. ​​McDowell matched Westwood almost stroke for stroke, also carding seven birdies, with both players' only blemish coming on the tricky par-4 sixth hole. Home town hero Danny Chia rode a hot putter for barnstorming back nine en route to five-under 67 to trail the leaders by just one stroke. England's Tommy Fleetwood was also on 67 along with South Korean Kang Sung-hoon, who picked up birdies on three of his last five holes. ​Maybank Malaysian Open (Day 1) T1. Lee Westwood (ENG) -6 T1.
