Script:
George Coetzee beat Thorbjorn Olesen on the second playoff hole to win the Mauritius Open on Sunday.
Overnight leader Coetzee had a trio of birdies at the par-five 18th hole to clinch his third European Tour title.
A playoff was required after Coatzee and Olesen finished tied on 13 under par, just one shot better off than Mardan Mamat of Singapore.
Olesen birdied the first playoff hole before being limited to par at his second attempt in the inaugural event on the Indian Ocean island.
But the 28 year old Coetzee hit the winning putt at his second playoff hole with a third birdie.
The South African was the highest-ranked player at the tri-sanctioned European, Asian and South African tour event.
