McDowell wins in play-off triumph

Graeme McDowell held his nerve to prevail at the fourth play-off hole and secure his second European Tour victory in the rain-delayed Italian Open in Milan today.

The Northern Irishman finally outdid France’s Thomas Levet, who paid the price for finding the water with his approach on the 18th after the two had matched one another shot for shot in a play-off which lasted almost an hour.
