Frenchman Julien Guerrier ended his long wait for a maiden DP World Tour title after he beat Spain’s Jorge Campillo in a record-equalling nine-hole play-off at the Andalucia Masters.<\/b><\/p>\n

The 39-year-old holed out from eight feet to secure victory on his 230th start.<\/p>\n

In a remarkable coincidence, Guerrier’s French coach Raphael Jacquelin won a nine-hole play-off for the Spanish Open in 2013, external<\/span><\/a> while the only other European Tour event decided by a nine-hole playoff was the 1989 Dutch Open, won by Jose Maria Olazabal.<\/p>\n

The lead changed hands between Guerrier and Campillo throughout the final day but the Spaniard bogeyed the 18th and Guerrier landed a 16-foot par putt to force the play-off.<\/p>\n

Campillo, who sank his putt from 15 foot for par on the first play-off hole, had chances to win on the third, seventh and eighth extra holes, but missed from six, 10 and 15 feet respectively.<\/p>\n

Guerrier then made par on the ninth extra hole after Campillo was unable to get up and down from a greenside bunker.<\/p>\n

“I’m feeling great and I can’t believe I made it. Because it’s been a really long time I’ve been waiting for it,” he said.<\/p>\n

“We work really hard every week for that but we have to stay patient.<\/p>\n

“I know Jorge Campillo is a great player but today it goes my way so I’m very happy.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
