Lindskog captures Volvo Masters title

KUALA LUMPUR (Agencies): Sweden's Stephen Lindskog triumphed at the US$250,000 Volvo Masters of Malaysia on Sunday after surviving a three-way play-off at Kota Permai Golf and Country Club.

The 32-year-old Lindskog, who is Nigerian by birth but was adopted by Swedish parents when he was a child and lived in Jakarta, holed a seven-footer at the second extra hole to pip overnight leader Anthony Kang of Korea and Japan's Shinichi Akiba to the $40,375 winning check.

It was Lindskog's first victory on the Davidoff Tour after winning the 1999 qualifying school.

"I haven't realized what I've done yet. I've got to go home and wake up tomorrow morning to realize what I've achieved," said Lindskog, who carded a final round 71 for a 10-under-par 278 total.
