Malik and Forrester both entered No. 17, tied in first place at 18-under and then both made birdies to send the tournament to No. 18 knotted up.
Malik then proceeded to drop down another birdie at the last for his eighth of the day and to secure the one-shot victory.
Malik finished 20-under par, while Forrester finished 19-under. Christian Hellwing of Germany finished in solo third place at 12-under, and Max Hopkins of England finished in solo fourth place at 11-under.
