American John Catlin won the International Series Macau title on the second playoff hole on Sunday, staving off David Puig's spectacular late surge at the Macau Golf and Country Club.

Both the golfers birdied the first playoff hole after they finished at 23-under 257 before Catlin went on to clinch his fifth Asian Tour title.

The 33-year-old had seized the lead by shooting 59, the lowest score in Asian Tour history, in the third round of the event where soft conditions allowed players to lift, clean and place their golf balls in the fairway.
