Birdie to win, par for a play-off... Elvira's nightmare finish hands Spaun title
Sports2 sources1 country🔦 Under-reported30m ago
JJ Spaun won the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth by two shots after his competitor, Manuel Elvira, suffered a dramatic collapse on the final hole. Elvira, the World No 294 and a player still seeking his first professional win, held a strong position with a birdie to win or a par to force a play-off before carding a nightmare seven on the final hole.
The collapse handed the title directly to Spaun. Coverage of the event heavily highlighted the contrast between Spaun's victory and the agonizing, fairytale-crunting fashion in which Elvira let the title slip away on the final green.
