Intro:

David Lipsky has become the first American to win the European Masters after a dramatic play-off.

Script:

Another glorious day in Switzerland witnessed a dramatic conclusion to the 80th edition of the European Masters.

But before all that there was a second hole-in-one in as many days.

This time it was Frenchman Romain Wattel with his five iron on the 11th.

For his efforts - he was awarded a brand new car.

At the top of the leaderboard, David Lipsky was closing in on overnight leader Graeme Storm.

The American started the day three shots behind and almost holed out for an albatross at the seventh.

He was one off the lead coming down the 18th and very nearly made it to -19 with another stunning shot.

Storm had to save par on his last hole to force a play-off - he did so and the pair went back to the 18th tee.

Lipsky found the rough at the edge of the green with his second shot, but produced a great chip to put his ball stone dead.

Storm had trouble off the tee and ended up facing a six-metre putt to save par and force another extra hole.

His ball drifted wide and Lipsky had the shortest of putts for victory.

The 26-year-old easily sunk it to become the first American to win the title in almost 30 years.
