The Sebastian Soderberg of sweden held his nerve to keep his first European Tour title.
Soderberg, 28, ended tied alongside Lorenzo Gagli Rory McIlroy, Kalle Samooja and leader Andres Romero after Sunday’s final round at Crans-sur-Sierre under at 14.
The Swede birdied the first hole to acquire the coat.
The Tommy Fleetwood of england completed in a tie for eighth below on 12.
Following his success, Soderberg said:”It is unbelievable. I have dreamt of playing in the Tour – even better doing it this way.
“I was more nervous in the beginning than I was towards the back nine. I got on a run that was fantastic and the ball kept heading in. Just playing Rory, a lot of people all over, playing with a guy like that adds heat to it straight away.
“I was myself that I can play here. I did know that I was ready to win, I had a terrible start to the year and that I felt like I was hoping to make my way into the top 110 and maintain my card. It is just a surreal way to do it.”
World number two McIlroy – that won the Tour Championship to secure a prize of 12.2m in the US last Sunday – recorded five birdies in the last seven holes for a final-round rating of 67 to race back into contention.
The Northern Irishman claimed on Saturday the exertions at the play-offs on the PGA Tour had caught up with himbut on Sunday he appeared to have the momentum because he chased success 11 years on from missing out on a maiden European Tour title at a play-off defeat by Jean-Francois Lucquin.
Eventual winner Soderberg, who began the day four shots off the lead, missed a birdie chance that was nice to take the outright lead on the 18th, while Argentina’s Romero arrived at the last hole conscious a birdie would seal the win.
Romero, rated 735th on earth, appeared to have dropped from contention on the final round but regained with three birdies in four to achieve 14 under on his penultimate hole in a fun final round culminated in the event’s sixth play-off in seven decades.
