An astonishing comeback at the Vodafone Challenge saw Scotland’s Richie Ramsay claim his first Challenge Tour title at the expense of his close friend and compatriot George Murray.
Murray’s missed putt from eight feet on the last hole at G&CC An der Elfrather Muhlein Germany effectively handed the title to Ramsay, who had looked dead and buried after dropping three shots in his first five holes.
But Ramsay roared back with five birdies and an eagle to finish on 16 under par and take the title by one shot from Murray and amateur ace Stephan Gross Jnr of Germany, who had led going into the final round.
Ramsay, who picked up €22,400, said: “It’s my first win as a professional after years and years of hard work, and I’m just so happy. My Grandfather taught me golf when I was six years old, so a lot of credit goes to him. I talked to [fellow Scot] Andrew Coltart earlier this week, and he told me to keep believing in myself. I kept that in mind when I bogeyed three of the first five holes.
