DENMARK'S Soren Hansen scored his first European Tour win at the Murphy's Irish Open following an exciting sudden death play-off.

The 28-year-old produced a decisive birdie two at the fourth extra hole, the 17th, after he had finished tied on 14-under-par with Niclas Fasth, Darren Fichardt and Richard Bland.

Shaw Hill's Nick Dougherty finished joint 23rd after a final round of 75 after earlier rounds of 66, 74 and 64.
