Julien Guerrier ended his long wait for a maiden DP World Tour title as he beat Jorge Campillo in a record-equalling nine-hole play-off following a roller-coaster final round to win the 2024 Estrella Damm N.A. Andalucía Masters. The huge crowds at Real Club de Golf Sotogrande were treated to a thrilling battle between home favourite Campillo and Frenchman Guerrier on Sunday, with the lead changing hands throughout the afternoon before a mammoth play-off was required to break the deadlock after Guerrier holed his clutch 16-foot par putt on the 18th to join his playing partner at 21 under par following 72 holes. And it was Guerrier who came out on top at the ninth extra hole, nervelessly holing from eight feet to enter the winner's circle for the first time on his 230th start.

Sunshine Tour - Fortress Invitational      

Robin Williams had little to worry about in the final round of the Fortress Invitational at Glendower Golf Club on Sunday, cruising to a three-stroke victory as he shot a five-under 67 to finish on 22-under-par. Williams showed great focus and composure with a classy round which was faultless until the last hole, when a sudden gust of wind just before the storm broke led to a bogey five. The 23-year-old had all but ensured victory, however, with his fifth birdie by the par-five 11th hole, and he added a sixth on the next par-five, the 17th. The big-hitting Williams once again took advantage of the par-five’s, birdieing all four of them on Sunday.

Asian Tour - Black Mountain Championship       

Unheralded American Michael Maguire denied his in-form compatriot John Catlin a third victory of the year, winning the US$2 million Black Mountain Championship in a dramatic sudden-death play-off on the par-five 18th at Black Mountain Golf Club, Hua Hin, Thailand.

In just his second season on the Asian Tour and without a previous professional win, Maguire made par on the second play-off hole to claim the title after Catlin missed a 15-foot par putt. Both players had birdied the first play-off hole, with Maguire holing a sensational 20-foot putt from the fringe to match Catlin's short birdie putt.

Both players had finished the 72-hole regulation tied at 23 under par, with Maguire shooting a 65 and Catlin carding a 66 in the fifth event of The International Series and the 15th leg of the Asian Tour.

Nordic Golf League - Road to Europe Final by Royal Unibrew      

A dramatic final round in Frederikshavn has come to an end, and it was the Dane, Peter Launer Bæk, who secured victory at the Road to Europe Final with an eagle on the 18th hole. Bæk was in the second-to-last group and was not in contention for the lead until the very end. A birdie putt narrowly missed on 17, meaning the Dane needed to make an eagle on the 18th hole to snatch the victory – which he did. He signed for a round of 65 strokes (-7), enough to take the win from Oskar Ambrosius, who despite a fantastic final round of 65 strokes (-7) as well, was beaten at the last moment once again.
