Otto hangs on
SOUTH African Hennie Otto finally landed his first European Tour title – but only after he had lost a five-shot lead for the second time in four tournaments.
The 31-year-old, beaten in a play-off by Scot Alastair Forsyth in Madeira in March, was caught at the Italian Open in Milan by England's Oliver Wilson.
But this time Otto responded by sinking a 20-foot birdie putt on the 433-yard 13th, and then narrowly avoided a bunker with his final drive.
Needing a par four to win, he had to play his second shot with one foot in the sand and conjured up one of the shots of his life to six feet and two-putted for a 69
Wilson's superb 64 meant a third runners-up finish of the season.
