India's Feroz Ali won the Proton Terengganu Masters title in Kuala Terengganu, capital of Malaysia's northern state of Terengganu on Tuesday, local media reported on Wednesday.
A late challenge by Malaysia's golfer Mohd Rashid Ismail failedto stop Feroz, the New Straits Times said.
The turning point for the 37-year-old Feroz, who finished the day with three-under 69, was at the 11th hole when Mohd Rashid missed a 2-foot par putt.
Feroz, a former Indian Open champion, kept a 3-shot lead up until the 15th when Mohd Rashid managed to close in and trail by one with two straight birdies.
"I was consistent enough throughout the day although it was hard to stay focus Rashid and Shaifubari hot on my heels," said Feroz after the prize presentation ceremony.
Mohd Rashid, meanwhile, said he only had himself to blame for missing some good opportunities but was satisfied with his overallperformance in the 3-day tournament.
Another Malaysia's athlete, Shaifubari Muda also made a late charge with 5 birdies to share second place with Mohd Rashid with a similar total scores of 207, taking home 19,500 ringgit (5,735 U.S. dollars) each while the champion received a trophy and 35,000 ringgit (10,294 U.S. dollars).
