Going out early in the final round, the No. 278-ranked Reitan shot a 9-under 62 to post the clubhouse target at 13 under.

Van Driel, ranked No. 331, shot 67 to join Reitan in the lead but the No. 186-ranked Ferguson looked like taking his fourth European tour title as he went down the last with a one-stroke lead.

However, his par putt lipped out to push him into a three-way playoff, which took place on No. 18.

The trio all made par the first time but Reitan rolled in a birdie putt from 15 feet for the win after Ferguson and Van Driel had made par.
