Fernandez-Castano wins Barclays Singapore Open
Happy week began, there have been many interesting thing, let me introduce the following the news about golf.
Spain's Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano won the storm-delayed Barclays Singapore Open play-off on the second extra hole early on Monday.
The 31-year-old holed a nine-foot birdie putt on the par-five 18th hole as opponent Juvic Pagunsan of the Philippines pushed his effort just wide.
The play-off for the US$1 million first prize was interrupted twice by lightning storms on Sunday before eventually being postponed until 7.30 am Monday (2330 GMT Sunday).
Fernandez-Castano claims his fifth European Tour win and his first in three years after also winning a sudden-death play-off against England's Lee Westwood at the 2008 British Masters.
Pagunsan, 33,

The play-off was witnessed by just a smattering of fans and officials in an anti-climactic conclusion following a dramatic day on Sunday.
Pagunsan appeared to have snatched victory on the last hole when Fernandez-Castano drove into the water, but the Spaniard rolled in a long putt to force the sudden-death play-off.
But the play-off was twice cancelled by lightning storms before officials finally postponed the competition. Fernandez-Castano won at around 8.00 am, 17 hours after the play-off's start.
