Marcel Siem snatches dramatic play-off in BMW Masters in Shanghai
German chips in to head off Levy and Fisher on blustery final day at Lake Malaren
Germany's Marcel Siem battled blustery conditions and a touch of nerves over the closing holes on Sunday to secure the BMW Masters with a dramatic chip-in at the first play-off hole.
France's Alexander Levy started the day five shots clear of Siem, but was unable to cope with winds gusting to near gale force and slumped to a six-over-par round of 78.
He finished tied for the lead on 16-under with Siem, who shot 73 on the par-72 course, and England's Ross Fisher.
The golf course was the total opposite of the first three days. A real monster, super brutal in the win
"It was really tough on the back nine," Siem said. "The golf course was the total opposite of the first three days. A real monster, super brutal in the wind."
The round of the day belonged to Fisher, who shot a five-under 67 to claw back 11 shots on Levy and get into the play-off.
No one else in the 78-man field managed better than 69 on Sunday, as the wind bared its teeth after three days of low scoring in windless, soft conditions.
The trio trouped back to the 18th to go head to head into the fierce wind.
