HONG KONG—Daniel Nisbet of Australia picked up 5 shots on the 4-shot overnight leader Alexander Kang to force a playoff, which Nisbet won with an 10ft eagle putt on the first play-off hole to secure the inaugural PGA China Tour Clearwater Bay Open title on Sunday Nov 6, 2016.
“That’s the fastest my heart has ever been beating on a golf course. It was just so exciting,” said Nisbet,
“I knew that if I controlled the speed of the putt that it would go in. I was a little bit excited as I put a good score together and then found out I was in a playoff, so there were a lot of emotions running through my body.
“When I was on 18 again for the playoff, I was calm, but my tee-shot started out left and I knew it had to be a little bit longer to be good. Luckily it hit the cart path and then bounced over the bunker and I probably got an extra 30 yards out of it as well. A little bit of luck went a long way for me today.”
