Chen Guxin secured his second ADT win of the season in Danang on Friday, winning on the first playoff hole to secure victory over Lloyd Jefferson Go of the Philippines at the BRG Open Golf Championship in Vietnam, the first Asian Development Tour event in the nation.

Go, who battled well to get into contention with a two-under-par score of 70, was unable to capitalize on his efforts when his second shot on the playoff hole leaked right into the water, forcing him to take a drop and effectively conceding control of the match to Chen.

Both players made the fairway from the tee box at 18 in the playoff but after Go lost his ball to the right, Chen played short of the green with his second shot and chipped to within three feet to set up the chance for birdie and the win on Vietnam’s National Day.

Victory celebrations after Chen Guxin’s playoff victory over Lloyd Jefferson Go of the Philippines.

Go, who has four top ten finishes on The ADT this year, chipped bravely to four feet from the apron and with only the prospect of a bogey at best, allowed Chen to putt out. Although he missed the birdie, Chen was able to secure the par and victory in this US$75,000 Asian Development Tour event.

Chen, who won in Phuket at the Blue Canyon Classic in May, opened with an early birdie but started to lose his way around the turn, posting four bogeys in five holes. He said after his round that he was getting nervous and starting to worry about the finish, but fortunately his luck turned and he was able to post three birdies in his last four holes to get back into contention.

Matt Killen of England, who started the day in fifth place, carded 70 on the final day to secure solo third, ahead of Oscar Zetterwall who struggled for most his round, dropping five shots before he was able to get back on track in the closing holes, posting a score of 75 which was enough for forth place.

Australia’s Jack Murdoch posted his first under par round of the tournament with a 70 to lead a group in sixth place with a score of 214, together with Thailand’s Chanat Sakulpolphaisan and William Harrold of England, who was also unable to build on his overnight score and posted a 75.

In ninth place, Shae Wools-Cobb of Australia fought back from Thursday’s score of 75 with a fine 68, five birdies only marred by a solitary bogey early in his round. He shared ninth place on a total of 215 with the Thai duo of Chonlatit Chuenboonngam and Pisitchai Thippong.
