​England's Lee Westwood fended off the spirited challenge from Thailand's Chapchai Nirat by defeating him at the first play-off hole to clinch his third CIMB Niaga Indonesian Masters presented by Enjoy Jakarta Golf title on Sunday.   The former world number one's bid to claim his hat-trick of titles at the US$750,000 Asian Tour event was secured when he birdied the play-off 18th hole as Chapchai, a four-time Asian Tour winner, could only make par. The Englishman appeared to be cruising towards an emphatic victory until two successive bogeys on 16 and 17 blew the title race wide open.   He had the opportunity to win with a birdie at the last but misread the green and was forced to settle for a par and a four-day total of seven-under-par 281. But after returning to the 18th hole for extra-time, Westwood made no mistake from the exact spot again. CIMB Niaga Indonesian Masters (Final)  1. Lee WESTWOOD (ENG) 281 (-7) * wins play-off 2.
