Sweden's Peter Hedblom ended five barren years when he won the Volvo Finnish
Open in Helsinki on Sunday, but he needed a 4 hole playoff before beating Mads
Vibe-Hastrup.
“This is a fantastic feeling because it’s a long time since I was
in contention. I’ve had three bad seasons, which has affected my confidence.
This will help but I’ve got a lot more to do before I can get back to the
top level.”
