Australia's Richard Green today survived a last-hole blunder to claim his first European Tour title for a decade in the weather-affected Austrian Open.
Green had two putts from 12 feet on the 18th green to seal victory, but charged his birdie attempt three feet past and missed the return.
That meant a play-off with France's Jean-Francois Remesy, who had carded a superb closing 64 to set the clubhouse target on 16 under. The players returned to the 18th and this time it was Remesy who faltered, his approach to the par five finding the rocks on the edge of the water surrounding the green.
The best he could do was a bogey six and Green made absolutely certain of a long-overdue win by chipping to within inches of the hole from the back of the green to win the first prize.
England's Chris Gane, Spain's Miguel Angel Jimenez and Swede Michael Jonzon shared third a shot further back. Play had been delayed by more than two hours in the afternoon by lightning.
