Rising English star Chris Wood narrowly missed out on a maiden professional victory after Open champion Louis Oosthuizen won a three-man play-off to clinch the Africa Open title in East London.

Oosthuizen holed from 15 feet for birdie on the first extra hole, the par-four 18th, to clinch a third European Tour win.

Wood and Spain’s Manuel Quiros could only manage pars after the trio had finished regulation play tied on 18 under par.
