Alastair Forsyth won his second European Tour event after being Hennie Otto in a play-off for the Madeira Island Open title in Portugal. Both players carded 15-under scores of 273, with Forsyth making the most of the miserable conditions to score a birdie at the first extra hole, trousering the 116,660 euros winner's cheque in the process.

A field with Bradley Dredge as the star turn hardly set the pulse racing with the big boys battling it out on The Blue Monster at Doral, but at least a depleted field gave Faldo Series graduate Ben Evans the opportunity to shoot a final round 66 to finish tied for 10th place in only his third European start.
