American Johannes Veerman captured his maiden Asian Development Tour (ADT) title after defeating local hope Wang Wei-lun on the second play-off hole at the weather-shortened Taifong Open on Sunday. The 24-year-old Texan overcame a two-shot deficit to sign for a third consecutive two-under-par 70 and force a play-off with Wang after the duo were tied on six-under-par 210 total in regulation play at the Taifong Golf and Country Club. The duo returned to the par-five 18 for the play-off battle where both of them shot matching pars on the first extra hole before Veerman sank a one-footer to outplay Wang, who settled for par after his 10-footer birdie putt lipped out. Asian Tour stalwart Lu Wei-chih of Chinese Taipei posted a flawless 69 to finish one shot back in third place with countryman Lin Wen-tang, who battled to a 70, in the US$160,000 ADT event, which had earlier been reduced to 54-holes after the second round was delayed due to Typhoon Nepartak.

Spain's Carlos Pigem claimed the scalp of Japan's Shunya Takeyasu when he defeated the Japanese in a play-off to lift his first professional title at the Yeangder Tournament Players Championship (TPC) on Sunday. An emotional Pigem was at a loss for words when he sunk his birdie putt on the first play-off hole to win the US$500,000 event after finishing regulation play earlier with a five-under-par 67 at the Linkou International Golf and Country Club. The Spaniard gained an early advantage in the play-off when his second shot on the par-five 18 found the middle of the fairway after Takeyasu struck his into the rough. Pigem then decided to go for the broke by using his three-wood to hit the ball which would land five-feet away from the pin. He knew the Yeangder TPC title would be for him to lose when Takeyasu's fourth shot could only land on the edge of the green and made no mistake with his birdie putt to clinch victory.
