England's Paul Casey is beaten by South Africa's defending champion Thriston Lawrence on the fourth play-off hole at the European Masters in Switzerland.
Paul Casey failed to secure victory at the European Masters in Switzerland, losing to defending champion Thorsten Lawrence on the fourth play-off hole. The tournament, held at the Crans-sur-Sierre Golf Club, saw Casey donate his winnings to the victims of a recent fire in the Swiss resort. Despite starting the day six shots ahead, Casey struggled to regain the lead he had reclaimed after a strong second and third round.
He missed four crucial putts, including a critical birdie putt, ultimately falling short by a single stroke. Lawrence, who hit eight birdies in a flawless round, expressed his joy at clinching his third European Masters title and praised Casey's impressive performance throughout the competition.
