South Africa's Hennie Otto claimed his first European Tour title as he won the Italian Open in Milan. Otto let a five-shot lead slip for the second time in four starts, but held his nerve to triumph by one shot over Englishman Oliver Wilson. Needing a par four on the last to win, the 31-year-old played a great shot to within six feet and holed to clinch it. Otto finished with a 25-under aggregate of 263 - one outside Percy Alliss's 1935 tournament record. Following his win, a relieved Otto said: "I thought I was under the lip of the bunker on the last. |
"But when I saw where it finished I said to my caddy 'let's just get this on the green, two putt and go home'.
"It's great to win. I have been working very hard on my putting and I don't think I've ever holed more long putts than I did this week."
Swede Robert Karlsson, who set a course record of 61 on Friday, finished in third and joint fourth were England's Phillip Archer and German Marcel Siem.
Former Open champion John Daly closed with a 67 to claim joint-23rd spot - his best performance for some time.
