SWEDE SUCCESS AT LYONESS OPEN IN AUSTRIA

LUNDBERG BEATS WIESBERGER WITH 

BIRDIE PUTT IN PLAY-OFF

REPORT BY EUROPEAN TOUR COMMUNICATIONS 
Sweden's Mikael Lundberg holed a 40ft birdie putt on the first play-off hole to deny Bernd Wiesberger a second win on home soil and capture the Lyoness Open in Austria.
The pair finished tied on 12 under par at Diamond Country Club after Lundberg surged through the field with a closing 65 and Wiesberger returned a 69, having let slip a one shot lead with three holes to play.
The players returned to the par three 18th for the play-off, and it was advantage Wiesberger after the tee shots – only for Lundberg to hole for an unlikely birdie.
Despite being willed on by large crowds in Atzenbrugg, Wiesberger was unable to match it from 18 feet, and was therefore left with an anxious wait to see if he had done enough to move up to 60th place in the Official World Golf Ranking to qualify for his US Open Championship debut.
A victory would have guaranteed his place at Pinehurst, but the 28 year old is now left to rely on results going his way in the FedEx St Jude Classic on the US PGA Tour.Final scores:
