Kristoffer Reitan won his first DP World Tour title after holding his nerve in a play-off following a stunning course-record 62.
Reitan started the day nine shots behind overnight leader Ewen Ferguson and teed off almost three hours before the last group out.
His Rinkven International GC course record proved enough to join Scotland's Ferguson and Dutchman Darius van Driel in a play-off.
All three made par on the first trip back up the 18th before the trio all struck their approaches significantly closer when replaying the last for a second time.
After Ferguson and Van Driel missed, Reitan holed from 15 feet to cap a remarkable day which he started in 23rd place.
Reitan birdied the first before dropping a shot at the third and at that stage there was little warning of what was to come, but a further nine birdies saw him join Ferguson on -13.
“I don't know what to say, its been a dream of mine since I was a little kid,” said Reitan. “I keep thinking back to a few years ago when I was considering stopping playing because I didn't find it enjoyable any more, didn't see progress, and to be able to turn it around the way I have been doing the last couple of years has been amazing - to seal it with victory here is ridiculous.
“[Winning] wasn't even on my mind. I just wanted to play a good round of golf, been working hard on trying to stick to my process recently. Obviously today I felt like it was a little bit my day and that was evident at the end... I couldn't be more thrilled.”
****Canada's Aaron Cockerill opened with his best round of the year -6 65, then followed 72 72 71 -4 T31
