Danish golfer Thomas Bjorn has won the European Masters title after he made a 12-foot birdie putt on the first playoff to beat Craig Lee, on Sunday.

According to Sport24, Bjorn added to his title from 2011 after watching Lee's attempt from 15 feet slide left of the hole on the par-4 18th.

Earlier, both players missed 20-foot putts for the win in regulation on the foggy, rain-swept final green following a 30-minute suspension for fog to clear, the report said.

Bjorn, who waited out the delay standing on the 18th tee, missed left and completed his round of 6-under 65, the report added.

The 42-year-old Dane earned prize money of 366,660 euros, the report further said.
