Paraguay’s Fabrizio Zanotti eagled the final hole to complete a stunning come-from-behind win at the Maybank Championship.

Starting the final day six shots back of leader and reigning Masters champion Danny Willett of England, the 33-year-old Zanotti won the US$3mil (RM13mil) co-sanctioned tournament by one shot with a sizzling nine-under 63 ahead of 2014 Asian Tour Order of Merit winner David Lipsky at the Saujana Golf and Country Club yesterday.
