Adilson da Silva defeated Keith Horne in a sudden death play-off to secure his second Legends Tour win at the Riegler and Partner Legends at Golf Club Murhof, Austria.
“It’s incredible,” said da Silva, who got his first victory at last year’s Staysure PGA Seniors Championship. “This place, the people, the play-off. It’s amazing.”
“I try not to look at leaderboards. I knew it was getting closer, but I didn’t want to know. I stayed very focussed on what I was doing. Some days you just see the lines on the greens, and you hit it there and it goes in.”
Founded in 1962, Golfclub Murhof has been host of multiple major international golf events in its history. The Austrian Ladies Open was held at Murhof between 1998 and 2000. Later in 2000 it was Swede Carl Pettersson who won the European Amateur Championship with Graeme McDowell and Paul Casey finishing in third and sixth place respectively.
In 2001 Markus Brier won on the Challenge Tour for the first time at Murhof. And a young Rory McIlroy finished fourth in the European Young Masters in 2004.
