Andrea Pavan entered Sunday’s final round of the BMW International Open trailing by four shots. But after an exciting final day, the Italian found himself hoisting his second career European Tour trophy.

Pavan posted 6-under 66 on Sunday at Golf Club Munchen Eichenried in Munich, Germany, birdieing two of his final three holes to get in the clubhouse at 15 under, and then took down Matthew Fitzpatrick in a two-hole playoff. Both players traded pars after the first extra trip down the par-5 18th hole, but Pavan earned the victory with a short birdie make on the second playoff hole.
