SHANGHAI (Reuters) - Xander Schauffele celebrated his 25th birthday week in some style by beating fellow American Tony Finau in a playoff to win the $10 million WGC-HSBC Champions at the Sheshan International course on Sunday.

The 2017 PGA Tour rookie-of-year picked up birdies on the last two holes of his final round to join Finau on 14-under-par and sank a birdie putt on his second trip to the 18th green before watching Finau come up short with a longer effort.
