European Masters: Matt Wallace wins play-off against Alfredo Garcia-Heredia

England’s Matt Wallace held his nerve to win the European Masters in Switzerland after a play-off against Spain’s Alfredo Garcia-Heredia.

The 34-year-old was pegged back after going into the final day with a four-shot lead.

But a birdie on the additional hole, the 18th, gave Wallace his fifth DP World Tour title – and first for six years.

“That was a hard day,” said an emotional Wallace, who had lost the 2022 tournament at Crans-sur-Sierre in a play-off to Thriston Lawrence.

“It brought back memories of when I lost two years ago – I wasn’t focused then, but that was focus there. I’m buzzing. I stuck at it.”

Wallace was level for his final round but a birdie at the last allowed Garcia-Heredia to join him on 11 under after a four-under round of 66.

Wallace’s compatriot Andrew ‘Beef’ Johnston was also close to tears after a 66 enabled him to finish third on 10 under after struggling in recent years with injuries and form.

“There’s a lot of relief – it’s been a tough couple of years,” he said.
