Golf:Kenneth Ferrie came through a play-off with fellow Englishman Simon Wakefield to lift the Austrian Golf Open in Atzenbrugg today. The 32-year-old held his nerve to lift a third European Tour title.

He sealed the win on the 18th hole, being afforded two putts to do so despite his initial drive going wide of the fairway while Wakefield's landed on it.

Wakefield, last year's Qualifying School champion, overhit his second shot into rough at the back of the green, though, and, after Ferrie had recovered with a beautiful second to within seven feet of the pin, the rest was a formality.

It had so nearly been a three-way play-off, with Holland's Joost Luiten dropping a shot on the par-four 18th to fall out of contention on 11 under.

Both Ferrie and Wakefield ended on 12 under, both of them carding five-under 67s today, with Wakefield birdying the last to deny Ferrie the win in regulation time after the latter had missed a putt to win it on the penultimate hole.

England's rising star Tom Lewis again finished with credit and a top-10 finish, checking into the clubhouse on six under for his four rounds, finishing above illustrious names such as Miguel Angel Jiminez (five under) and Oliver Wilson (three under).

The round of the day belonged to Argentina's Cesar Monasterio, but his six-under was not enough to put him in the mix at the top of the pile.
