Julien Guerrier and Jorge Campillo staged an epic playoff Sunday at the 2024 Andalucia Masters in Spain. Each man fired a final-round 70 to finish the 72 holes of regulation with matching scores of 21-under 267.

From there, the duo posted matching pars over eight playoff holes, which bounced around between the 17th and 18th holes at Real Club de Golf Sotogrande.

On the eight playoff hole, Guerrier had a chip from the greenside rough that lipped out for a would-be birdie. Finally, playing the 18th for a sixth time in the playoff and 10th in all this week, Guerrier made one last par while Campillo could only manage a bogey, and the drawn-out drama was over.

In his 230th start, the Frenchman is finally a winner on the DP World Tour.

The nine-hole playoff tied the tour’s record for longest playoff.
