Rafa Cabrera Bello edges Adri Arnaus in playoff to clinch Spanish Open

Spain's Rafa Cabrera Bello sank a birdie putt on the first playoff hole to seal a dramatic victory over compatriot Adri Arnaus and win his first tournament in over four years at the Spanish Open on Sunday.

Both men were neck and neck for much of the day and ended it at 19-under for the tournament. Cabrera Bello then held his nerve after a fine approach shot on the first playoff hole -- the par-four 18th -- to make birdie as Arnaus could only manage par.

Frenchman Julien Guerrier, India's Shubhankar Sharma and Scot Grant Forrest were all two shots back at 17-under, finishing tied for third.
