Italy’s Guido Migliozzi claimed his second European Tour win of the season with a four-shot victory over Dutchman Darius van Driel in the final of the Belgian Knockout.
Migliozzi only came through Qualifying School in November, but now has two tour titles to his name in just 20 events after his triumph at the Kenya Open in March.
He laid down a marker on day four at Rinkven International Golf Club with a win over Bernd Wiesberger in his quarter final, and then defeated Scotsman Ewen Ferguson in the semis.
Van Driel beat Matthew Southgate and Grégory Havret en route to the final on Sunday in Antwerp, but the Dutchman could not match Migliozzi’s three under par total.
Ferguson beat Havret by four shots in the play-off to claim third place ahead of the Frenchman.
In the second staging of this event, with its part stroke play, part matchplay format, Migliozzi finished in a tie for fifth in Section A after 36 holes of stroke play, and then beat Pedro Oriol, defending champion Adrian Otaegui and David Law in his first three knockout matches over nine holes of medal match play.
The victory moves Migliozzi to 21st on the Race to Dubai and into the top 100 in the world rankings.
