Min Woo Lee secured his second European Tour victory in thrilling fashion as he defeated Thomas Detry and Matt Fitzpatrick in a play-off at the Scottish Open.
The Australian, who first entered the winners' circle at the 2020 Vic Open, set the clubhouse target of 18-under par after a bogey-free final round of 64, which included six birdies in a row from the third hole.
He was joined on that number by Detry of Belgium and Englishman Fitzpatrick, who each carded four-under par rounds of 67 to force a three-way play-off at the Renaissance Club.
Lee hit his approach on the first extra hole inside ten feet and, after watching Detry and Fitzpatrick miss their birdie chances, made the putt to secure the win.
"Amazing to hole that last putt. I had good feelings. I played that hole really good all week and have been flushing it all day, as well. A bit of a break first but it was quite nice and I got to hit a few balls. Just a nice shot in and nice putt," said Lee.
Lee will now make his Major Championship debut after sealing his place at The 149th Open at Royal St George's this week alongside Detry and Jack Senior.
"I knew I had a good chance coming in just because I've been playing so good, and to get in that, and winning the tournament is just the cherry on top. I'm really looking forward to (The Open) next week," said Lee.
Lucas Herbert, Ryan Palmer and Ian Poulter shared fourth on 17-under par, while world number one Jon Rahm followed his win at the US Open three weeks ago with a seventh-place finish in Scotland.
Richie Ramsay was awarded the inaugural Jock MacVicar AGW Memorial Award for the leading Scottish player after finishing in a tie for 15th on 12-under par.
