Last year's result
At the age of 22, Min Woo Lee grabbed his second title on what was formerly known as the European Tour in a one-hole playoff over Matt Fitzpatrick and Thomas Detry. Lee made his putt for birdie to seal the deal, while the other two players made pars.
Lee started the final round three strokes back of Fitzpatrick and Detry but recorded a 64 to make it into the playoff.
Ian Poulter, Ryan Palmer, and Lucas Herbert finished tied for fourth - one stroke back at 17-under - to narrowly miss the playoff.
