Kristoffer Broberg wins BMW Masters title after play-off

Kristoffer Broberg upstaged a world-class field in Shanghai to win the BMW Masters with a birdie at the first play-off hole against Patrick Reed.

Broberg and Reed finished tied at the top on 17 under par and headed back to Lake Malaren's 18th, where Reed tugged his approach into sand and Broberg backed up a sweet drive with an excellent second to 12 feet.

The American Ryder Cup star splashed out to inside three feet to almost guarantee his par, but Broberg ended the contest as he rattled a confident putt straight into the middle of the cup to seal his maiden European Tour title.

"That's a dream come true. I've worked so hard all my life for this. I have no words," said an emotional Broberg, whose win was the 100th by a Swede on the European Tour.

Reed had earlier holed a 100-yard approach from a fairway bunker at the 15th for an unlikely eagle, and he made his fifth birdie of the day at the next before stumbling to a costly bogey on the 17th.

He gave himself a great chance to clinch outright victory with a superb second to inside 15 feet at the last, but he could barely contain his anger at leaving the putt short.

Reed had to settle for a 67, while playing partner Broberg also missed a putt for victory on the 72nd green as the Swede closed with a commendable five-birdie 68.

Overnight leader Thongchai Jaidee endured a poor day on the greens and was one over for his round after 14 holes before hauling himself back into contention with birdies at 15 and 17.

But the Thai veteran missed out on the play-off by one shot after leaving his birdie putt in the jaws of the hole at the last, and Byeong Hun An did likewise as both finished on 16 under.

Henrik Stenson also spurned a birdie putt on the final green after he made a thrilling late dash up the leaderboard with a sparkling run of five birdies in six holes on the back nine.

The 2013 Race to Dubai champion signed for a 68 to get into the clubhouse on 16 under and earn a share of third with Jaidee, An and Lucas Bjerregaard, who birdied three of the first five holes but could not maintain his momentum as he closed with a 70.

Justin Rose kept his Race to Dubai hopes alive as he found four birdies on the inward stretch to card a 67 and finish on 15 under alongside fellow Englishman Paul Casey, who bogeyed the last to post a 69.

Sergio Garcia, playing in the last group with Jaidee and An, was one off the lead with two to play before he bogeyed 17 and then hooked two balls into the water at the last in an ugly six that dropped him to 13 under.

Meanwhile, Danny Willett missed the chance to replace Rory McIlroy at the top of the Race to Dubai standings. Willett needed to finish inside the top 28, but he finished tied for 28th on seven under after a closing 70.
