Julien Guerrier Secures First European Tour Win After Record 9-Hole Playoff
The French golfer triumphed at the Andalucía Masters, marking a significant milestone in his career after nearly two decades on the tour.
- Julien Guerrier claimed his first European Tour victory at the Andalucía Masters in Spain, his 230th tournament on the circuit.
- The win came after a dramatic and record-tying nine-hole playoff against Spaniard Jorge Campillo, with both players finishing the regular rounds at 21-under par.
- Guerrier forced the playoff with a crucial 16-foot par putt on the 18th hole, while Campillo's late bogeys allowed the Frenchman to catch up.
- Guerrier's victory marks the 50th win for a French player on the European Tour and comes nearly 19 years after his debut on the tour.
- Jon Rahm, the highest-ranked player in the tournament, finished in sixth place, four shots behind Guerrier and Campillo.
