Former No.1 amateur Jin Jeong wins Perth play-off to take first professional victory Fairytale: Jin Jeong with the trophy. Melbourne-based former world No.1 amateur Jin Jeong won the $2 million Perth International on Sunday, overcoming a poor start to his final round. He recovered from a double bogey on the first hole of his final round to beat England's Ross Fisher in a play-off, after the pair finished the tournament tied at 10-under par. The 23-year-old South Korean started the final round at the Lake Karrinyup course one shot from the leader, West Australian Brody Ninyette. And after his poor start, he managed five birdies for the rest of his round without dropping another shot, carding a final round three-under 69. Jeong had an advantage going in to the play-off, having produced an eagle, a birdie and two pars on the 406-metre par-four 18th hole over the four days of the European PGA and Australasian PGA co-sanctioned event. Fisher had managed just three pars and a bogey on the same hole. And that's how it played out. Fisher missed the green with his approach shot, then left his recovery chip four metres short of the cup; then missed his par-putt. Jeong two-putted the 18th having landed his second shot in the middle of the green to claim his first win as a professional. And he couldn't be happier. It means a lot; I was waiting for something like this for a long time," he said. I was going to go back to Qualifying School - Second Stage week after next, but I guess I don't have to any more. His victory earns him his European Tour card and a two-year exemption on top of almost $280,000 in prize money. Beating Fisher in the play-off was also a bit of a fairytale for him. "Playing with Ross Fisher, he's one of my heroes as well," he said. Playing with him in the play-off; it was unbelievable. Fisher started the final day two shots adrift of Ninyette after rounds of 72, 67 and 71. He produced a bogey-free round to card a four-under 68. Ninyette's dream of his first professional win ended with three dropped shots in his final six holes yesterday. Central coast's Dimi Papadatos also shot a four-under 68 on Sunday to finish in a three-way tie for third with Ninyette, and England's Danny Willett. American Dustin Johnson shot a six-under 66 after rounds of 69, 74 and 75.
