9:18 am on 29 August 2011

The veteran Danish golfer Thomas Bjorn won a marathon 5-man playoff to claim the Johnnie Walker Championship at Gleneagles in Scotland, his second title of the season.

England's Mark Foster, who'd led since the opening round, bogeyed the final hole to bring four others into the sudden death playoff, and Bjorn won with a birdie on the 5th replay of the 18th hole.
