Manila: Singaporean Mardan Mamat romped to an emotional six-shot win at the $1 million Manila Masters on Sunday to preserve his playing privileges on the Asian Tour for another two years.
"It means a lot to me," said Mamat, who fell to his knees and kissed the green after closing with a par at the last.
"This is my last year of exemption and I needed to play well to keep my card. I wanted to win again to keep my exemption for the next few years."
Mamat entered the day with a four-shot lead and his steely focus resulted in five birdies and two bogeys which were enough for a fourth round in the 60s this week and a 20-under total of 268.
His playing partner Kiradech Aphibarnrat struggled in the conditions on the way to a three-over 75, allowing Frenchman Lionel Weber to finish second after a closing 70.
