Zanotti eagles 18th hole to win Maybank Championship by a stroke

Teeing it up six-shots adrift of the leader in the final round of the Maybank Championship, Paraguay’s Fabrizio Zanotti eagled the final hole to shoot a 63 and win by a stroke at Saujana Golf and Country Club.

He arrived in Malaysia searching for form after three missed cuts on the Desert Swing, before returning to the winner’s circle for the first time since the 2014 BMW International Open.

"I think it was probably the best round of my career, so I’m very happy," he said. "It was a really good day, a really good week and I’m really happy.

"I think it was at the 15th where I thought I might be able to win, when I made birdie there. I thought, maybe I’ll have a chance if I make two more birdies, but I made a birdie and an eagle so it was great.

"It feels really good to be a winner again. I’ve been working a lot and I was not in my best run of form, missing three cuts in a row, but that’s in the past and today I’m a winner again and it feels great."

This was the 33-year-old’s second win on Tour.
