OK, so Day Three went missing in action just like Day One, but let's face it, we live in Britain and when the sun shines, you've got to get out there...

Anyhoo, a great day for Hennie Otto, who made up for blowing a final day lead a few weeks back in Madeira by keeping his nerve in Italy. He won his first European Tour event with a final 69 for 25-under, a shot clear of Oliver Wilson, who must have given Otto the fright of his life with a fantastic 64.

Robert Karlsson gave The Bet Detective some solace with third at 23-under, while Phil Archer and Marcel Siem tied fourth at 21-under. John Daly shot 67,73,68, 68 to finish tied 23rd.
