Steve Lewton Wins Indonesia Open Golf Tournament

Steve Lewton claimed his second Asian Tour victory at the Indonesia Open in Jakarta, ending a 10-year drought after winning in a tense sudden-death play-off. After a strong performance that included seven birdies, Lewton found himself with a two-shot lead but suffered a double-bogey on the 18th, allowing his competitors Sampson Zheng and Aaron Wilkin to catch up, all finishing regulation play at 16-under par. In the play-off, Lewton secured victory with a birdie on the second extra hole, capitalizing on a fortunate lie that kept his ball from going into a hazard. Lewton expressed relief and joy at finally getting back to winning after being a runner-up in the previous two editions of the tournament. His last title came at the Mercuries Taiwan Masters in 2014, marking a significant milestone in his career. The win earned Lewton a $90,000 prize from a total prize pool of $500,000.
