CRANS MONTANA, Switzerland (AP) — Thriston Lawrence of South Africa overcame a six-shot deficit Sunday with an 8-under 62 and denied Paul Casey his first victory in five years by making an 18-foot birdie putt on the fourth playoff hole to win the European Masters.
Casey stood over a putt with the chance to win four times on the 18th green at Crans-sur-Sierre, three of them in the playoff. Lawrence made good on his first chance. He became the seventh three-time winner of this event, and the first since Seve Ballesteros.
Casey (68) led by one going to the 18th and got a huge break when his approach from rough hit a rock and bounced over a stream. But he couldn't get up-and-down for par, leading to the playoff.
Casey had a 35-foot birdie putt for the win on the first playoff hole at No. 18. On the second extra hole, his 10-foot birdie narrowly missed to the right. Officials moved the pin toward the back of the green, and Casey had 8 feet for birdie and the win. That spun off the right edge.
The fourth time around, Lawrence made the winning putt to capture the European Masters for the third time in the last five years.

Thriston Lawrence did what Paul Casey could not: covert a winning putt at the Omega European Masters.
Lawrence made a 20-foot birdie putt on the fourth playoff hole to defeat Casey and successfully defend his ******* le in Crans-Montana, Switzerland. He also joined Seve Ballesteros as the only three-time winner of the DP World Tour event. Lawrence won as well in 2022, while Ballesteros was victorious in 1977, '78 and '89.
The two men finished regulation at 18 under par, with Lawrence closing in 8-under 62 and Casey, the overnight leader by three, shooting 68.
Casey, however, had a chance to end it on the 72nd hole. Leading by one, his approach shot from the rough on the par-4 18th landed well short of the green, bounded onto a rock, bounced over a creek and settled in the rough. The fortunate break allowed Casey to chip from a difficult lie to 10 feet past the hole. His winning effort, though, lipped out.
That led to sudden death with Lawrence, who was watching things unfold on TV.

Paul Casey leads the Omega European Masters by three strokes heading into the final round on Sunday.
Casey will be looking to chalk up the 16th DP World Tour victory of his career on Sunday at Crans-sur-Sierre.
The Englishman joined LIV Golf back in 2022, so we don't see him play as much on the DP World Tour as we once did.
However, with LIV Golf set to head in a different direction in 2027, Paul Casey may well decide to play more golf on the DP World Tour.

CUMBERLAND – What is now a shopping plaza that includes a Stop & Shop and a McDonald's holds a noted place in American auto racing history: It is the site of the first sanctioned stock car race in the United States outside the South.
Not only would the first stock car races in the North be held in ***** berland, but the national championship would be decided there.
On Oct. 26, 1947, Fonty Flock, of Atlanta, won the national championship race on the one-third-mile, high-banked, paved oval track of the Lonsdale Sports Arena off Mendon Road on the bank of the Blackstone River, just downstream from Pratt Dam.
A crowd of 18,000 watched the seven races that Sunday afternoon, part of a program sanctioned by National Stock Car Circuit head Bill France, who, a couple of months later, would become head of the newly formed NASCAR, the governing body of stock car auto racing.
Only days before the history-making auto races, Lonsdale Sports Arena made history in another sport: The bowl-shaped arena hosted 32,000 spectators in what was the largest football crowd ever in Rhode Island at that time, as Cranston High School beat La Salle Academy, 20-2. The huge crowd snarled traffic for hours in the area.

SEEKONK – There were 11 former champions in the field at the 121st Rhode Island State Amateur, but the biggest name on the tee sheet was a Cranston native making his debut.
Mike “Sonny” Kollet planned to work in golf, but never could have predicted it happening the way it did. The former burned out ***** istant pro turned social media influencer didn’t have any cameras following him Monday at Ledgemont Country Club in Seekonk on the first day of qualifying rounds for the state amateur, showing that’s he more than just a guy goofing off on the course for clicks.
“I wanted to see if I had it,” said Kollet after shooting a 1-over par 72, putting him in the thick of achieving one of his goals. “I’m sure it would be the greatest content ever, but there are so many better players out there.
“I just want to make it to match play.”

Benny Blanco says his mother saw his future with Selena Gomez before they were officially together and even encouraged him to marry her while he was still dating someone else.
On the latest episode of his Friends Keep Secrets podcast alongside Breaking Bad stars Aaron Paul and Bryan Cranston, the 38-year-old producer recalled the moment his mother made the surprising suggestion.
"The crazy thing is 2019, I'm shooting a video with Selena. I'm dating someone else," Blanco recalled near the 39-minute mark in the video below. "My mom's on the video shoot and she says, 'Hun, … you should marry Selena.' And I was like, 'What?' And she was like, 'You should be dating someone like Selena.'"
He continued, "And there was like two times in my life where I left a specific session late or video with her where I was like, 'Wow, she's so cool. She's like really cool.' 'Cause we were friendly and we were friends, but we weren't like best friends. And every time I hung out with her for an extended period of time, I'd be like, 'Oh my god, she's so cool.'"
