Rasmus Hоjgaard (Denmark) claimed maiden European Tour title after winning the three-man playoff at Afrasia Bank Mauritius Open. Hоjgaard birdied his 72nd hole to tie the clubhouse lead at 19 under par and book his place in the playoff. Renato Paratore and Anoine Rozner were the other two golfers to finish at 19 under par after the regular 72 holes. Italian Paratore was eliminated on the first extra hole after he was not able to match the birdies made by Rozner and Hojgaard. The Dane won the title on the third extra hole with an impressive eagle.
