Colin Montgomerie took advantage of a dramatic late collapse from long-time final-round leader James Kingston to win the UBS Hong Kong Open.
Kingston took a disastrous six on the par-four 18th to leave the Scot the winner on nine under par after a final-round 70.
The South African had wobbled with a bogey at the 16th but Montgomerie's missed birdie opportunities at the 17th and 18th looked to have cost him victory.
But in a rerun of last year's meltdown against eventual winner Miguel Angel Jimenez, Kingston blew up on the final hole, skewing his tee shot into the trees, and then missing a 10-foot putt which would have forced a play-off.
The 40-year-old finished in joint second alongside Korea's KJ Choi, Taiwan's Keng-chi Lin, Thailand's Thammanoon Srirot and American Edward Loar.
Overnight leader, Scotland's Simon Yates, had a double bogey on the par-four first to set the tone for a five-over round which included just one birdie and a triple bogey on the 14th, ruining his hopes of winning at Fanling.
