Joost Luiten’s KLM Open win makes it double Dutch

Joost Luiten’s KLM Open win makes it double Dutch

Joost Luiten made it a day of double Dutch delight with victory in the KLM Open after compatriot Daan Huizing won the Kharkov Superior Cup on the Challenge Tour.

Minutes after Huizing secured a two-shot win in the Ukraine, Luiten beat Miguel Angel Jimenez on the first hole of a sudden-death play-off at Kennemer Golf Club.

A par on the 18th was enough to give Luiten his third European Tour title and second of the season after Jimenez three-putted from long range.

Jimenez, already the oldest winner in European Tour history, began the day a shot behind playing partner Luiten but quickly moved into the lead courtesy of a hat-trick of birdies from the second and another on the sixth.

The 49-year-old, who broke his leg in a skiing accident shortly after his win in the Hong Kong Open aged 48 and 318 days last November, missed from two feet for a birdie on the 12th but soon enjoyed a two-shot cushion when he birdied the next and Luiten bogeyed.

However, Luiten birdied the 14th after a superb approach to five feet and got back on level terms on the next when Jimenez failed to get up and down from a greenside bunker.

Both players bogeyed the 17th and parred the last to finish tied on 12 under par, Jimenez carding a 67 and Luiten a 68.

They returned to the 18th for the play-off and Jimenez needed a fairway wood for his second shot into a strong wind on the 400-yard par four, just finding the front edge of the green.

However, the 19-time European Tour winner charged his birdie attempt six feet past the hole and missed the return, leaving Luiten to hole from three feet for the win which brought a massive cheer from the packed galleries.

Three-time champion Simon Dyson held a share of the lead early in the final round after making three birdies in his first four holes but saw his title chances come to an end with a double-bogey on the 15th.

He had to settle for a share of third place on nine under par alongside fellow Englishman Ross Fisher, Ireland’s Damien McGrane and France’s Gregory Havret.

Richie Ramsay was the pick of the Scots on the final day with a sizzling six-under 64 leaving him three-under for the tournament and nine off the leaders.

David Drysdale was two further behind alongside compatriot Gary Orr, while Scott Hendry finished two-over par and Scott Jamieson ended six-over despite an encouraging first two rounds.
