Shenzhen, November 25:

Scotland’s Colin Montgomerie and Marc Warren defeated Boo Weekley and Heath Slocum of the US on the third playoff hole to win the World Cup of Golf in China.

A par on the third playoff hole was good enough for the Scots after Weekley missed a 15-foot putt. The Americans forced the playoff on the last regulation hole when Slocum dropped a 5-foot birdie putt. On the first playoff hole, he missed a 7-foot birdie attempt that would have won it. Seconds before that, Warren dropped a 12-footer to save par. A miss would have handed the event to the Americans.

On the second playoff hole, both teams missed birdie attempts. Weekley’s shot on the final playoff hole was short of the green, and Slocum’s chip left his teammate with a difficult putt to prolong the match.
