Italian Andrea Pavan claimed his first professional title in the Norwegian Challenge after edging out Austrian Florian Praegant in a play-off.
The 22 year old from Rome made a birdie at the third extra hole to win, having carded a two under par 70 in the final round to reach nine under for the tournament alongside Praegant, who signed for a 69.
The Austrian holed an excellent putt from off the green for birdie at the first play-off hole, and Pavan followed suit from close range. Nothing could separate the pair at the second extra hole as they both tapped in for par, but at the third Pavan went close with his approach and Praegant could only make bogey.
Pavan only turned professional earlier this year and at the start of the season was relying on sponsors’ invitations, but his impressive form and flashes of brilliance took him to 31st in the Rankings prior to this week, and now he has risen to seventh.
