With a 20-foot birdie putt at the first hole of a play-off 36-year-old Hansen won the European Tour's flagship BMW PGA Championship for the second time in six years.

Amazingly, he has never won any of his other 235 events - and in his first season on the US Tour this year has not had a single top-20 finish.

Rose, playing his first tournament in England for three years, had brought the biggest cheer of the day from the crowd when he played a brilliant pitch to two feet to match Hansen's closing birdie four in regulation play.

That meant they tied on the eight under par mark of 280 after a closing day of good, bad and some really ugly golf, with overnight leaders Paul Broadhurst and Ross Fisher incredibly shooting 80 and 84 respectively.

Rose then played the better approach when the pair returned to the 18th hole for sudden death but Hansen had the perfect pace and line on his putt and won the first prize of nearly £500,000 when the 26-year-old Englishman missed from 15 feet.
