The Le Vaudreuil Golf Challenge went down to the wire on Sunday as a four-way playoff concluded the competition and former DP World Tour pro, David Horsey claiming a first win since 2015.
Facing off against James Allan, Daniel Young and Joseba Torres, Horsey managed to get the job done with a dart at the first playoff hole, firing a dangerous wedge to three-feet and holing it for birdie.
