An emotional Richard Bland defeated Guido Migliozzi in a play-off to win his first European Tour title at the 478th attempt after a dramatic finish to the Betfred British Masters. Bland parred the first extra hole at The Belfry after Migliozzi three-putted from long range to become the oldest first-time winner in European Tour history. Bland, who made just one bogey all week, said: “It’s probably going to take a few days to sink it. I’ve had a few close calls and I assume someone up there was looking down on me quite favourably today. I knew there was unfinished business out here and I’m just pleased that I proved I can do it.
