Kieffer claims first career win in Czech Masters on DP World Tour

Germany’s Max Kieffer shot a final round six under par 66 for a three-round total of 200, 16 under par, for his first career win on the DP World Tour in the rain-shortened 54 hole €1.75 million D+D Real Czech Masters at Albatross Golf Resort in Prague.

Second-round leader Gavin Green of Malaysia shot a final round of 71 to fall one stroke behind champion Kieffer.

The 32-year-old Kieffer had a final round front nine of 32 with four birdies, followed by further birdies on holes 10 and 11. A bogey on 15 was countered by a birdie three on hole 17 and with a par on his 54th hole he claimed the top prize of €297,500.

Kieffer, a previous winner on the Challenge Tour in 2012 in India, has had a strong season so far with three top 30 finishes recently in the BMW International, Horizon Irish Open and the Genesis Scottish Open.
