The lead changed hands between Guerrier and Campillo throughout the final day but the Spaniard bogeyed the 18th and Guerrier landed a 16-foot par putt to force the play-off. Campillo, who sank his putt from 15 foot for par on the first play-off hole, had chances to win on the third, seventh and eighth extra holes, but missed from six, 10 and 15 feet respectively.
Guerrier then made par on the ninth extra hole after Campillo was unable to get up and down from a greenside bunker. "I'm feeling great and I can't believe I made it. Because it's been a really long time I've been waiting for it," he said."I know Jorge Campillo is a great player but today it goes my way so I'm very happy."The drone that started a riotDavid uncovers the hidden histories of two buildings'You can't keep playing like that' - Final Score pundits on 'fragile' Saints.
