September 8th 2013, Crans Montana, Switzerland: Thomas Björn of Denmark sunk a 12 footer on the first playoff hole to win the €2.1 million event at Crans-sur-Sierre, Switzerland when his score was tied with Scotland's Craig Lee on -20.

The former made quick work of sealing victory thereafter, birdying the 18th with a fine putt that sealed his 14th success on The European Tour and second in this tournament, following his triumph two years ago.

“It was nice,” he said. “I had a really good run through the summer and did not really get close enough.

“I had to grit my teeth for a while and I really wanted to get out and try to win a golf tournament again.

“I came in this week not playing particularly great but promised myself I’d stick to how I play this golf course.

“I did that and had two bogeys in 72 holes, which is good going around here. I felt good and I got over the line.

“It was nice to do that in a playoff. I’ve had a hard time dealing with pressure situations and there is no more pressure than that.”

That Björn required a playoff was thanks to a valiant effort from Lee, who is still seeking his first triumph on tour.

It appeared the more experienced Björn, who has been a model of consistency in the tournament thus far, had taken control after making five birdies in an outward 31 that featured some stupendous play around the greens.

With the Dane dropping only two shots over the first three rounds, it certainly seemed like he had the necessary consistency – particularly given he required just nine putts on the front nine.

However, Lee – who yesterday carded a stunning 61 having threatened to produce the first sub-60 round in the history of The European Tour – caught fire on the back.

Amid Björn picking up just one more shot on the way in, Lee enjoyed gains at 12, 15 and 16.

He headed into the final hole knowing a birdie would be enough to secure victory but – after seeing his first putt lip out – ultimately settled for a par to join Björn in the clubhouse on 20 under par and force extra holes.

In the end, just one was required in heavy mist as Björn once again found the Midas touch on the greens.
