Wang Wei-hsuan refused to let heartbreak repeat itself. The 27-year-old from Chinese Taipei chipped in for an eagle on the final hole of regulation, then beat Sungjae Im in a playoff to win the $1 million SJM Macao Open on Sunday, Oct. 18.

The win is the first Asian Tour title of Wang’s career. It also erased the sting of 2025, when he tied Germany’s Dominic Foos at the same score and lost on the second extra hole.

Wang Wei-hsuan Outduels Sungjae Im at Macau Golf & Country Club

Wang took full advantage of the three par 5s on the back nine at Macau Golf & Country Club. He made birdies on the 12th and 13th before the eagle on the 18th.

Im edged ahead with a birdie on the 15th, but he gave the lead right back on the next hole. Wang’s eagle then put him one shot ahead at 17-under par, and Im answered with a birdie to force a playoff.

Wang then birdied the first extra hole to seal the win. He dedicated the title to his mother and said he was happy to claim it in front of his wife and family.

“Before I made the chip on the 18th (in regulation), I asked my caddie Ray to make sure the slope on the green was flat or whatever else, and then Ray confirmed that it was flat all the way to the hole,” Wang said.

“I executed exactly how I wanted it, and just let the ball roll into the hole,” Wang added. The chip came from the edge of the green.

Charles Porter’s 61 Shakes Up Macau Leaderboard

American Charles Porter shot the lowest round of the tournament, a nine-under 61, to jump to solo third place at 14-under par. He did it despite feeling unwell throughout the week.

Porter made four birdies in his first six holes and added two early chip-ins. He closed with an eagle on the par-5 18th after a 390-yard drive, but still finished three shots behind Wang and Im.

“I saw Sungjae was at 14, and I knew that I needed an eagle to have a chance. Who knew what would happen, but I needed to make it and I made it,” Porter said.

Porter finished one shot ahead of fellow American Austen Truslow, who shot 64. China’s Wu Ashun and Thailand’s Danthai Boonma each carded 65 to tie for fifth.

Thailand’s Sadom Kaewkanjana (65) and Pavit Tangkamolprasert (68) tied for seventh at 12-under. The Asian Tour heads to Hong Kong for the $2 million Link Hong Kong Open.
