Guido Migliozzi wins KLM Open with Tom McKibbin sixth

Italy's Guido Migliozzi won his fourth DP World Tour title following a three-man play-off at the KLM Open.

Migliozzi birdied the second extra hole to edge out England’s Joe Dean and Sweden’s Marcus Kinhult after the trio had finished tied on 11 under par.

All three players birdied the first extra hole, the par-five 18th, but Migliozzi was the only one able to repeat the feat after finding the green in two and two-putting from long range.

Migliozzi had earlier carded four bogeys in the space of six holes from the ninth, but birdied the 16th and 18th to complete a final round of 70 and get into the play-off, with Dean also making a birdie on the last, in a back nine of 30, to catch Kinhult.

"It’s been a great battle," said Migliozzi, whose bogey on the 10th came after he could not find his original drive inside the permitted three minutes.

"After I lost the ball on 10 inside me I was like 'If I can go through this, then I can do it’. I never thought I was done. I always try to make birdies and try to come back and here it is now. It’s an incredible feeling.

"It’s super, super nice to be here now."

Finland’s Mikko Korhonen, who took a one-shot lead over Migliozzi into the final round, struggled to a closing 75 to finish in a tie for 10th.

Denmark’s Rasmus Hojgaard and Italy’s Andrea Pavan finished a
