Nisbet made it two for two in extra sessions when he rolled in a 10-foot eagle putt on the first playoff hole to defeat 54-hole leader Alex Kang to win the inaugural tournament. The victory was worth ￥216,000 (approximately HK $247,800 and U.S. $32,000) and moved Nisbet to No. 11 on the Order of Merit after beginning the week in 49th place. 

 
"That was probably the fastest my heart has ever been beating on a golf course," Nisbet said of the playoff conducted on Clearwater Bay Golf and Country Club’s 18th hole. "I’m just happy I put together a good score. It was good to put four rounds together back to back." 

On the par-5 hole, that Nisbet and Kang had just played moments earlier, Kang hit his second shot first, his ball landing short of the green and scooting into the rough on the left. He faced a 25-foot chip. Nisbet stuck his approach close and below the hole to the delight of the assembled crowd. Kang never had a chance to putt for birdie from six feet when Nisbet rolled in his eagle putt, a fist pump following. 

 
Nisbet’s 65-64, 11-under finish over the final 36 holes was the best in the field, and he needed every one of those strokes to make up the five-shot deficit he faced when the day began. Nisbet was tied for fourth, five shots behind Kang. 

 
"Alex was playing really well. I thought if I shot 7-under (63) I’d have a chance. And I had an eagle putt on the 72nd hole. That was crucial," Nisbet said, settling instead for a 64, his 63 thought prescient. Although Nisbet missed that putt, his birdie lifted him to 15-under. When Kang missed from 12 feet on his 72nd hole, the two moved into what was the fourth playoff in Ping An Bank China Tour – PGA TOUR China Series history and second of the season. In the first tournament of the year, Zecheng Dou defeated Xinjun Zhang in a two-hole extra session at the Henan Open. 

 
The turning point in Kang’s round came on the par-4 12th hole, when he hit into the water and suffered a double bogey. He held a similar four-shot, 54-hole cushion at the Cadillac Championship earlier this year and cruised to a six-stroke triumph. Sunday, the result was a bit more disappointing. 

 
"I calculated the wind wrong. I thought there was more downwind, and I put it in the water," Kang said of his No. 12 miscue. "I hit a good shot. I was surprised it went in the water because I hit it well. I’ll learn from it and play better next time and hopefully not make the same mistakes again." 

At the same time Kang was making double bogey, followed by a bogey at No. 13—really, the turning point in the round—Nisbet was going par-birdie to draw even. The two matched each other score for score over the final five holes, with Nisbet playing a group ahead of Kang. 

 
"This is the most enjoyable week I’ve had on a golf course," Nisbet said, a victory helping with the fun. "This is the most breathtaking course I’ve ever played. The greens are almost exactly like what I grew up on. It’s hard to play bad golf around here." 

Nisbet is not playing the Putian Open next week. Instead, he’ll travel to Australia to play in the New South Wales Open Championship.
