DP World Tour - Omega European Masters         

Matt Wallace had to battle hard to earn his first DP World Tour title in six years after needing a play-off to defeat Alfredo Garcia-Heredia at the 2024 Omega European Masters. The Englishman showed his class at Crans-sur-Sierre Golf Club by being the only player to be blemish-free after the first two rounds to lead by four heading into the weekend.

Brutal winds on Moving Day meant only three players in the field carded under par rounds, but Wallace negotiated the elements to maintain his four-shot advantage despite a three-over 73.

He endured a nervy final round, coming home in level par, while his Spanish playing partner produced a brilliant approach to birdie the last and force the sixth play-off of the campaign after both players finished at 11 under.

They found the fairway to start the extra hole before landing on the green with their second shots. Garcia-Heredia pushed his lengthy birdie putt left of the cup while Wallace had eight feet, which he drained with confidence to get back in the winner's circle.

It is the fifth DP World Tour crown of his career, but his first victory since the 2018 Made In Denmark which came six years and six days ago.
