ALVESLOHE, Germany — Niclas Fasth made a 10-foot birdie putt on the third hole of a sudden-death playoff against Angel Cabrera Sunday to win the Players’ Championship of Europe.
The Swede’s third European Tour victory came after he birdied three of the last five holes, and Cabrera bogeyed his last to force the playoff.
John Daly shot a closing 65 to tie for third with Scotland’s Stephen Gallacher (69).
“This is by far my biggest win,” said Fasth, who also won the 2000 Madeira Island Open and this year’s New Zealand Open. “This is one of the big ones. It means a lot. I like this.”
