South Korea's Song Young-han edged out world No. 1 Jordan Spieth to take his first career Asian Tour title in Singapore on Monday.

Song shot a 12-under 272 to claim the weather-delayed SMBC Singapore Open, beating Spieth by one stroke and taking home $260,000 in the first-place purse. It was the first professional victory for Song, who turned pro in 2013 and came into the tournament ranked 204th in the world.

The final round play was suspended Sunday due to inclement weather, with Song nursing a two-stroke lead and facing a 10-foot par putt on the par-4 16th, while Spieth left himself with a short birdie attempt at the par-5 18th.

When the play resumed Monday morning, Spieth made the birdie but Song saved his par to stay in front. Song then parred his final two holes for the nail-biting victory. (Yonhap)
