David Frost finishes with eagle in Mauritius

David Frost conjured a magnificent eagle-3 on the 18th hole to force the Mauritius Commercial Bank Open into a play-off, where the South African defeated England's Roger Chapman at the second extra hole.

After a thrilling final round that had seen Chapman overhaul a four-shot deficit and take a two-shot lead down the final hole, Frost saved his best till last with a brilliant drive followed by a sublime 3-iron to 15 feet that he rolled home for eagle and a final-round score of three-under 69.

With Chapman making a par on the last to sign for a seven-under 65, it meant both men finished locked together on 13 under for the tournament and Frost claimed the title in a shoot-out. "It was a great final round and a great victory for me because when I was standing on the 18th tee two shots back I didn't think I had any chance," admitted Frost, who picked up €42,000 for picking up the Mauritius Commercial Bank Trophy and moves to fifth on the 2011 Senior Tour Order of Merit.
