Play-off heartache for Lawrie

HISTORY repeated itself in extraordinary fashion last night as England’s Simon Dyson won the KLM Open in Holland for the second time in four years – squeezing out Ireland’s Peter Lawrie.

Just as he did on the same Kennemer course in 2006, Dyson sank an 18-foot birdie putt on the first hole of a sudden death play-off.

Last time it was to beat Australian Richard Green and this time it was to defeat Dubliner Lawrie and Swede Peter Hedblom.
