Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano claimed a play-off victory as the Barclays Singapore Open finally came to an end on Monday.

Fernandez-Castano and Juvic Pagunsan returned to the Sentosa Golf Club course on Monday after poor weather brought the play-off tussle to a premature end on Sunday.

Pagunsan squandered a chance to take the title by failing to putt for birdie at the first extra hole, and when he failed with a birdie putt at the next hole Fernandez-Castano did not let him off the hook and wrapped up the title.

The victory was a huge moment for the Spaniard, who missed six months of the year with a back injury and had been in danger of losing his place on the European Tour.

He told EuropeanTour.com afterwards: “I did not know if I would be fit again. I was close to getting back surgery. If you have any back problems let me know because I know all the back doctors.

“My main goal was to get fit and see if I was able to play again. After that my main worry was being able to play how I used to, but the first couple of months were tough. 

“I could see how my game was improving and last month was amazing - sixth in Madrid, second in Castellon, 12th in Valderrama and winning here.

“It’s down to my family and friends and my wife. In the six months I am sure I was a bit of a pain. For her it was hard, not being on the golf course and complaining for sixth months, so all credit goes to her.

“One person I want to thank is my caddie. He has been amazing and stuck with me. He was calling me on a weekly basis during my injury and he said not to worry and he would be there waiting for me. The job he did yesterday supporting me was amazing.”
