Two days before his 18th birthday, Manassero adds two more birdies on the back nine en route to a 4-under 68 to finish with a 16-under total of 272. Bourdy made a charge up the leaderboard with four straight birdies beginning on the third hole, but he bogeyed the eighth and had a double bogey on the 11th. He finished with eight birdies in a 67. Rory McIlroy (FSY) (69) had to settle for third, two shots back after holding in the second round lead as he tried to bounce back from their masters collapse last Sunday. The Northern Irishman had four birdies and a lone bogey on the first 11 holes but seemingly fell out in competition with a double bogey at 12. He joined with three more birdies and would have forced a playoff with another birdie on the par-5 18th, but his hopes vanished when his second shot went too far to the right. "Of course, at this moment I am rather disappointed, but it was a good week, McIlroy said. "I started really well and to shoot scores I did light travelling is a pretty good bet. ... I am proud of myself how I picked my up from last week and how I came back on the back nine today. "Manassero, who became the youngest winner in European Tour victory at last year's Castello Masters, said it was "fantastic" to earn another trophy before 18. "" It was tough, "he said. -The course is really tight and all players were doing well and play well. It is not easy to concentrate, in particular to stay calm. "Martin Kaymer (FSY), nr. 1 in the rankings was eight shots back in a tie for ninth, while Masters champion Charl Schwartzel (FSY) finished another stroke behind after a 70, McIlroy, who had to take a nearly 30-hour flight to Malaysia and came just a day before the tournament startednoticeably, saw tired in the final round, despite maintaining his smile for the large crowd swarming around him.But took his caddy's patience when some spectators ignored the ban on taking photos while the player was the preparation and asked officials to confiscate some of the cameras.Manassero will move up to the album charts in the world rankings next week. He received $ 416,660 for winning the Malaysian Open and became the youngest winner.
