Max Kieffer breaks duck with Czech Masters win

Germany's Max Kieffer won his first DP World Tour title at the 249th attempt following a dramatic finish to the D+D Real Czech Masters.

Malaysia’s Gavin Green took a three-shot lead into the final round and was still two clear with five holes to play, only to make a double bogey on the 14th after hitting his tee shot into the water.

Kieffer then made his seventh birdie of the day on the 17th to move into the lead and, after completing his 66, looked on from the practice range as Green’s birdie putt from eight feet on the 18th to force a play-off lipped out.

"It’s tough right now to say what it means," Kieffer told Sky Sports. "It’s great, I’m lost for words a little bit.

"You’re thinking 'I want to be ready in case he makes birdie’, you expect him to make birdie. You don’t want other people to miss putts but when the guy from the TV said you’ve won it the feeling was just ridiculous.

"I don’t know how I feel. I think I will need a few days.

"I just love to play golf and even if I had not won I still have a great life, I still enjoy playing golf, so now to win it’s even better.

"You’ve just got to keep trying. I had a few difficult years where I didn’t play well and then this year I feel like I am playing very well but still, deep down, you never know in golf. I’m so glad and I’m really going to enjoy it."

Asked about his crucial birdie on the 17th, Kieffer added: "I thought I needed at least another birdie because Gavin was at 17 under so I just tried to be aggressive on 17.

"And then when I saw he was back to 15 and I actually had a putt for the lead which I made, on 18 the nerves kicked in hard. On the tee shot I was thinking for a second I might not make contact with the ball."
