Schwartzel's meltdown lets Sullivan in... Reed wins in Maui.

europeantour.com Andy Sullivan won his first European Tour title with a brilliant birdie on the first playoff hole as Charl Schwartzel let slip a five-shot overnight lead in a late collapse at the South African Open.

Schwartzel (74) finished terribly, making two bogeys and a double-bogey in his last five holes to fall back to 11-under and allow Sullivan (67) a chance at victory in the playoff.

Both players missed the fairway off the tee in the playoff, but Sullivan sent a low pitch from under a tree onto the green, and then holed out for an unexpected birdie to win.

“It’s unbelievable,” Sullivan said. “After Saturday I didn’t think I stood much of a chance with Charl getting ahead that far.”

The Englishman made up seven shots on Schwartzel in the final round and was waiting in the clubhouse when the South African unraveled at the end to miss out on a first South African Open title after leading by four shots with five holes to play.

Meanwhile in Maui on the PGA Tour Patrick Reed was 4 shots behind Jimmy Walker standing on the 15th tee without much chance of catching the veteran. He said afterward his mindset was to birdie 3 of the last 4 to try and secure 2nd place. In fact he closed with birdie, eagle, bogey birdie -6 67, a 271 total while Walker couldn't make a putt, finally missing an 18 footer for the win on the 72nd, -3 69 also 271...

Minutes later Reed drained a similar 18 footer for birdie and a playoff in the Hyundai Tournament of Champions.

Nick Taylor from Abbotsford, B.C., finished tied for 29th at 6-under par 286.
