First-Time European Tour Winner Sebastian Soderberg: 'I Was Shaking the Last Few Holes'

A WILD OMEGA EUROPEAN MASTERS in the Swiss Alps ended with a playoff. It was a fivesome of all things. And it included World No. 2 and FedEx king Rory McIlroy.
The other four who tied at 14-under 266 weren't exactly the usual suspects. Their names and rankings were Kalle Samooja (300), Andres Romero (735), Lorenzo Gagli (513) and Sebastian Soderberg (287).

Soderberg of Sweden won with a birdie on the first playoff hole. It was his maiden victory on the European Tour.

Judging from his comments, the Swede might still be in shock.
"This is tough to describe," Soderberg said.
