Lawrie in three-way play-off for KLM title

Ireland's Peter Lawrie is facing a play-off for the KLM Open in the Netherlands today.

Ireland's Peter Lawrie is facing a play-off for the KLM Open in the Netherlands today.

He faces overnight leader Peter Hedblom and England's Simon Dyson who shot a course record-equalling 63 to put himself into contention.

From six behind at the start of the day Dyson, winner three years ago, tied Hedblom, of Sweden, and Lawrie on the 15-under-par mark of 265.

Lawrie was one ahead of Dyson with three to play, but bogeyed the 16th and then Hedblom hit the flag with his tee shot to the 170-yard 17th and stopped two feet away.

He had a 25-foot putt chance to win on the last, but pushed it wide.

Fourth and fifth places went to two more Irishmen - Damien McGrane, who playing with Dyson shot 64, and defending champion Darren Clarke.
