KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — Scott Hend of Australia closed with a 5-under 67, had to wait nearly two hours to see if it would be good enough, and then made a 3-foot birdie putt on the first playoff hole to win the Maybank Championship on Sunday. The storm led to a delay of 1 hour, 40 minutes, and Elvira returned to hole the birdie putt for a 70. Elvira’s birdie putt stopped just short of the hole, and the 45-year-old Hend knocked in his birdie for his third European Tour title. I’m just trying to soak it all up and remember what it feels like to win,” Hend said. I tried to give it all on the play-off hole.
