Thomas Bjorn wins European Masters at wet Crans-sur-Sierre

The Dane beat Scotland's Craig Lee in a playoff by birdieing the 18th at the first time of asking, with the latter only able to make par.

Both men had finished the tournament on 20-under-par, one clear of Frenchman Victor Dubuisson in third.

Bjorn's 20-under final score is exactly the same total he achieved when winning the same tournament in the Swiss Alps two years ago.

Lee took a two-shot lead into today's final round after yesterday's blistering round of 61 but missed birdie putts at 17 and 18 that would have given him a first victory on Tour.
