Paul Casey today overturned a five-shot deficit to claim his fifth European Tour title in the Volvo China Open.
Casey birdied the first hole of a play-off with fellow Englishman Oliver Wilson to claim the £126,000 first prize at Shenzhen Golf Club.
The Ryder Cup star set the clubhouse target on 13 under par after a superb closing 65, but thought his missed birdie putt on the 18th would prove costly.
That looked like being the case when Wilson birdied four holes in a row from the 12th to lead by one with just two holes to play.
But the 25-year-old bogeyed the 17th and also failed to birdie the par five 18th after running just through the green with his approach.
The players returned to the 18th for sudden death and Casey two-putted from 25ft for birdie after Wilson stumbled from one greenside bunker into another to card a bogey six.
Casey had been five shots behind overnight leader Ross Fisher and had all but ruled himself out of contention after the second round when he was eight off the pace.
But the world number 61 - the highest ranked player in the field - wiped out that deficit with four birdies in his first eight holes today, and briefly led by two when he picked up further shots on the 11th and 12th.
Veteran Barry Lane was the first to catch him when he chipped in for birdie on the 14th, but when the 45-year-old duffed his chip on the 15th to double bogey, Wilson took over the challenge only to stumble over the closing stretch.
Lane birdied 17 and 18 to claim outright third place ahead of Fisher and Thailand's Chawalit Plaphol. Ireland's Peter Lawrie was sixth after a closing 69.
