Richard Bland become the oldest first-time winner in European Tour history as the Englishman beat Guido Migliozzi in a play-off to clinch the British Masters title on Saturday.
Bland landed his maiden Tour title at the 478th attempt after he parred the first extra hole at The Belfry while Migliozzi three-putted from long range.
The 48-year-old carded a superb final round of 66 to set the clubhouse target on 13 under par.
"It's probably going to take a few days to sink it. It's what I've worked for for 20 years. I've had a few close calls and I assume someone up there was looking down on me quite favourably today," said Bland.
