Bjorn wins Dunlop Masters

Dane Thomas Bjorn won the Daily Telegraph Dunlop Masters at the Forest of Arden today, beating England’s David Howell and Brian Davis in a play-off.

The trio tied on the six under par total of 282, one ahead of overnight leader Michael Campbell, who from three clear let himself down badly with a 73.

Davis went out with a bogey at the first extra hole and then Howell did the same on the next, failing to get up and down from a bunker just as he had at the 72nd hole when a first victory since 1999 beckoned.

Darren Clarke had threatened to grab a sensational third victory on the course when, from eight adrift, he holed his second to the 563-yard third for an albatross two and turned in 30.

But he eventually had to settle for a share of eighth.
