Golf-Broberg prevails in playoff to win BMW Masters

Nov 15 (Reuters) - Swede Kristoffer Broberg prevailed in a playoff with American Patrick Reed to clinch the BMW Masters title in Shanghai on Sunday.

American Reed (67) and Broberg (68) had earlier finished with identical 72-hole totals of 17-under 271 at the Lake Malaren Golf Club.

But Broberg made a birdie three at the first extra hole to win his maiden European Tour title.
