Adri Arnaus wins Catalunya Championship after dramatic six-hole playoff

Home favorite Adri Arnaus won a six-hole playoff to beat Oliver Bekker at the Catalunya Championship and claim his first European tour win on Sunday.

Arnaus, who is from Barcelona in northeast Spain near Girona, trailed overnight leader Bekker by seven shots at the start of the day, but he carded a final round 7-under 65 to pull level.

In contrast to Becker's even-par 72, Arnaus' fourth round included five birdies and an eagle on the par-5 12th.

In the playoff, Arnaus and Becker made par on five trips to the 18th hole, but when they went to the 17th Bekker's bogey gave Arnaus the title.
