Sweden's Peter Hanson overcame a one-shot penalty for a double hit to win the Iberdrola Open Cala Millor Mallorca at Pula, his third European Tour title in a play-off with Spain's Alejandro Canizares. Birdie putts of 12 and 30 feet at the 15th and 17th brought him level, he saved par from a bunker at the last and then won when Canizares failed to get up and down from the same trap on the first extra hole. Hanson breaks back into the World Top 50 in 45th place and will gain exemption from the US Open if he can stay in the World Top 50 for one more week.
