Maximilian Kieffer claims first DP World Tour title at Czech Masters as Gavin Green misses putt on the last

Maximilian Kieffer secured his maiden DP World Tour title when coming back from four shots behind to win the Czech Masters. In an event reduced to 54 holes on account of torrential rain on Friday and Saturday, Kieffer carded a blistering round of 66 to beat overnight leader Gavin Green by one stroke.
