Thomas Bjorn made a 12-foot birdie putt on the first playoff hole Sunday to beat Craig Lee for the European Masters title.
Bjorn added to his title from 2011 after watching Lee's attempt from 15 feet slide left of the hole on the par-4 18th. Both had finished with 20-under totals of 264.
"It was to be my week," said Bjorn, who shot a bogey-free 6-under 65 in the final round. "I have got a long love relationship with this golf course."
Earlier, both players missed 20-foot putts for the win in regulation on the misty, rain-swept final green following a 30-minute suspension for fog to clear.
Bjorn, who waited out the delay standing on the 18th tee, missed left and then watched on TV in the scorer's hut as the 36-year-old Lee of Scotland sought to clinch his first career title.
Lee, who led by two shots after his 61 on Saturday, had his putt catch the right lip of the hole and finished with a 67.
