American Tarik Can banged in a par-saving putt from eight feet on the 18th then watched Thai Nirun Sae Ueng flub his own bid from a shorter distance to snare the Aboitiz Invitational 2019 crown in sudden death at Wack Wack East course on Saturday.

Can failed to wrap it up with a bogey on the 72nd hole from almost the same distance for a 73, enabling Sae Ueng to force a playoff with a scrambling par from 20 feet for his own version of a one-over card as the duo finished tied at 292 after sharing second place after 54 holes.
