MUNICH (AP) — Pablo Larrazabal birdied the fifth playoff hole to beat fellow Spaniard Sergio Garcia and win the BMW International Open on Sunday.

Larrazabal made his short put on the par-5 18th after Garcia missed from about 5 feets. The outcome still allowed both players to qualify for the British Open next month.

Garcia birdied the 18th during his final round to shoot 4-under 68, matching Larrazabal at 16 under and forcing the playoff. They matched each other's score at No. 18 twice, then did the same at No. 12 and No. 17, before playing the last hole for the fourth time on Sunday.
