ANDALUCIA, Spain, March 30 (UPI) -- Thomas Levet beat teen upstart Oliver Fisher in a one-hole playoff Sunday to win the European Tour's Open de Andalucia golf tournament in Andalucia, Spain.
The playoff was necessary after both players finished 72 holes with totals of 16-under-par 272. Both shot 5-under 67 in the final 18 holes of regulation.
Levet closed with birdies at No. 16 and 17, while the 19-year-old Fisher blew an opportunity to win the tournament by making bogey at 18, giving him three bogeys in his last six holes.
He had started the day with birdies at four of the first five holes to move into contention and had not made a bogey in his previous 66 holes.
"I think my experience told a lot at the end," Levet said after capturing his fifth tournament victory. "Today I just kept telling myself to hang on because … anything can happen."
Defending champion Lee Westwood finished third at 13-under 275 after a 1-under 71 Sunday.
