ATZENBRUGG, Austria (AP) Mikael Lundberg beat Bernd Wiesberger in a playoff on Sunday to win the Lyoness Open for his first European Tour title in six years and third overall.

The Swede birdied the first playoff hole with a gutsy long putt to wrap up the victory.

Lundberg, who made three birdies in a row on his way to a 65, and Wiesberger, who shot 69, were tied at 12 under after the fourth round.

Defending champion Joost Luiten, who teed off the final day with a two-stroke lead over Wiesberger, carded a par 72. The Dutchman finished third, one stroke off the lead.
