England's Alice Hewson secured her second Ladies European Tour title after beating India's Tvesa Malik in a play-off in the VP Bank Swiss Ladies Open.
The 26-year-old birdied the first extra hole after the pair had finished tied on 11-under par following an extraordinary finish to the final round at Golfpark Holzhausern.
Hewson slam dunked a bunker shot for an eagle on the 17th and then birdied the last to overhaul Ireland's Lauren Walsh, who had set the clubhouse target of 10 under following a brilliant 64.

Malik then amazingly also holed out from the same bunker on the 17th for eagle and matched Hewson's birdie on the last to force a play-off, which the Englishwoman wrapped up in style with another birdie, and moved up to fifth place in the LET Order of Merit.
"I'm a little bit lost for words really," said Hewson, whose previous win came in the Investec South African Women's Open in 2020.
