After Levet sank a 20-foot birdie putt on the short 17th, 19-year-old Fisher's adrenalin-fuelled three iron tee shot in the swirling wind ran through the final fairway into water.

Bogeying the hole - and that after Levet's greenside bunker shot had hit the cup - meant they were both round in 67s for 16-under-par totals of 272.

Returning to the same tee Fisher not surprisingly took a four iron, but pushed into a bunker and bogeyed again to lose.

Long-time leader and defending champion Lee Westwood was third, three shots back, having played his last 11 holes in a disappointing three over par.

Fisher, in his second full season as a professional and ranked 290th in the world, said: "I would have loved to win, but I am sure there will be more chances.

"On the final hole I just turned it over a little bit and it pitched 15 to 20 yards short of the water. As soon as you get it going on the wind it goes miles.

"The second time was always going to be a little hard after doing that.

"But I was pretty happy with my week. I got myself into contention and played pretty nicely.

"You learn from your mistakes - you have to learn to lose before you learn to win almost. It was disappointing, but never mind."
