Golf: Levet beats teen in playoff to win Andalucia Open

Associated Press

PUERTO BANUS, Spain —Thomas Levet won the Andalucia Open on the first playoff hole today, defeating teenager Oliver Fisher.

Levet parred the extra hole after the 19-year-old Fisher, who held a three-stroke lead with six holes to play, had bogeyed. Both players shot 5-under 67s in the final round to finish at 16-under 272.

Defending champion Lee Westwood had a final-round 71 to finish three strokes back in third, and Alexander Noren and Patrick Sjoland shot 69s Sunday to finish tied for fourth at 276.
