At the European Masters held at Crans-sur-Sierre Golf Club in Crans-Montana, Thriston Lawrence emerged victorious against Paul Casey after an intense four-hole play-off. Both players finished regulation play tied at 18 under, with Casey shooting a two-under-par 68 and Lawrence delivering a stunning 62 to force the play-off.

Key Highlights:

• Lawrence won the tournament for the third time, equaling Seve Ballesteros’ record.
• Casey, despite leading by six shots at the start of the day, struggled with four missed putts for the championship.
• He pledged to donate his winnings to victims of a tragic fire in Switzerland.
• Harry Hall finished third at 17 under after an impressive closing 63.

Throughout the play-off, both players faced challenges on the difficult 18th hole. After two rounds of pars, Casey narrowly missed a 10-foot birdie putt on the second hole, and both players continued to make pars on the third despite a pin position change. Ultimately, Lawrence capitalized on his opportunity by sinking a birdie putt on the fourth play-off hole, securing the win.

Lawrence expressed immense joy, stating, "It's probably the most emotion I have ever shown in a happy way. I feel for Paul; he played great golf."
