Ormsby seizes playoff, makes big leap

Australian Wade Ormsby defeated Scott Vincent from Zimbabwe on the first hole of a sudden-death playoff yesterday to win the Jakarta International Championship following one of the closest finishes seen on the Asian Tour this season.

Ormsby triumphed after making a routine par on the par-four 18th, where Vincent found water with his second shot.

Ormsby trailed the frontrunner and playing partner Vincent all day, with a stacked leaderboard meaning the tournament could have been won by a whole host of players. A crucial eight-footer for par on the 18th by Ormsby in regulation play forced the event into overtime. Vincent had left the door open when he made a bogey on 16 and missed a six-foot birdie putt on 17.

Both Ormsby and Vincent shot one-under-par 69s to finished tied on 12-under.
