*wins after play-off
 McIlroy failed to make the cut in the Hong Kong Open last year
|
Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy was pipped to the Hong Kong Open title by Lin Wen-tang from Taipei after a thrilling three-way play-off.
Lin failed to sink a birdie putt at the last, but won after seeing off Francesco Molinari and then McIlroy over two extra holes.
The Italian could only par the first of them, while 19-year-old McIlroy and Lin both birdied the par-four 18th.
McIlroy's par at the second allowed Lin to seal his first European Tour title.
"It was not meant to be but it still has been a great week for me," said McIlroy. "I couldn't have done much more."
