Andrea Pavan wins Czech Masters for first European Tour win

VYSOKY UJEZD, Czech Republic -- Andrea Pavan produced a strong finish on the way to a 5-under 67 Sunday to win the Czech Masters for his first European Tour title.

Sharing the overnight lead with three-time major champion Padraig Harrington, the 29-year-old Italian was two strokes off the pace when he birdied the par-4 14th in the final round to reduce Harrington's advantage to one shot. Pavan jumped into the lead with another birdie on the par-3 16th after the Irishman dropped a shot on No. 15.

"The putt on 16 was massive," Pavan said.
