NICHOLAS Fung, who has been runner-up in at least six golf tournaments, fired a 10-under 278 total and then won the play-off in the RM125,000 PGM Negeri Sembilan Classic at the Seremban International Golf Club yesterday.
But to earn this third title on the PGM Tour, and a purse of RM21,000, Fung had to beat Iylia Jamil in playoff after he also ended with a 10-under.
Yesterday, Fung fired a final round of three-under 69, but Illya caught up with him with a five-under 67.
“I was quite nervous there, the whole week I have not been putting well,” said Fung.
“Anyway I am glad I have got over this winless period adfter coming in second at least six times.”
