Cyprus Championship final leaderboard here.
Callum Shinkwin defeated Kalle Samooja in a play-off to win his first European Tour title after a dramatic final day at the 2020 Aphrodite Hills Cyprus Open.
The Englishman was two shots behind the Finn as he stood 17th tee in regulation and while a birdie there edged him closer, his chances of victory looked slim when he found rough off the tee at the par five last.
A mighty heave with his second shot saw him find the putting surface and he holed an incredible 54 foot putt for eagle to take a one shot lead at 20 under after a closing 63.
Playing in the final group of the day, Samooja left himself an eagle chance from almost exactly the same spot and a two putt birdie handed him a closing 64 and took us to extra holes.
Shinkwin found the greenside bunker with his second shot at the first trip back up the last but got up and down for a birdie, with Samooja's three putt from the fringe making Shinkwin a winner in his 112th European Tour event.
Welshman Jamie Donaldson, South African Garrick Higgo and Scot Robert MacIntyre finished two shots out of the play-off, one clear of Australian Jason Scrivener, Finn Sami Välimäki and England's Dale Whitnell.
After an excellent amateur career, Shinkwin graduated from the European Challenge Tour in 2015 and looked to quickly have adjusted to life on the European Tour, comfortably keeping his playing privileges in his rookie campaign.
The following season saw him miss out in a play-off to Rafa Cabrera Bello at the Aberdeen Asset Management Scottish Open when a par on the 72nd hole would have handed him the title, and he went on to lose his card in 2018.
Five top tens in 2019 saw him regain his place on Tour and he now becomes the 11th first time winner on the 2020 Race to Dubai.
