Kristoffer Reitan fires 62, wins three-way playoff at Soudal Open for first DP World Tour title
ANTWERP, Belgium — Norwegian Kristoffer Reitan captured his first DP World Tour title by making birdie at the second playoff hole to win the Soudal Open at the expense of Ewen Ferguson and Darius van Driel on Sunday.
Going out early in the final round, the No. 278-ranked Reitan shot a 9-under 62 to post the clubhouse target at 13 under.
Van Driel, ranked No. 331, shot 67 to join Reitan in the lead but the No. 186-ranked Ferguson looked like taking his fourth European tour title as he went down the last with a one-stroke lead.
However, his par putt lipped out to push him into a three-way playoff, which took place on No. 18.
The trio all made par the first time but Reitan rolled in a birdie putt from 15 feet for the win after Ferguson and Van Driel had made par.

Milan risk missing out on Bennacer, Theo Hernandez and Chukwueze cash
Milan are facing problems, as Olympique Marseille won't pay the Ismael Bennacer option, while Atletico Madrid offers for Theo Hernandez and Betis for Samuel Chukwueze are too low. The Rossoneri have failed to qualify for any European competition this season after finishing eighth in the Serie A table, which means they will have to tighten their belts a little. Advertisement Though Tijjani Reijnders is on his way to Manchester City, they were still hoping to bring in some fresh revenue with other player sales. Milan had hoped to cash in on players MILAN, ITALY – APRIL 02: Theo Hernandez reacts during the Coppa Italia Semi Final match between AC Milan and FC Internazionale at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on April 02, 2025 in Italy. (Photo by) The first was Bennacer, who had an option to buy for €12m which Olympique Marseille are not prepared to pay. Because the midfielder made only 12 appearances in his six-month loan, argue Marseille are hoping to negotiate another loan experience instead. On top of that, Sky Sport Italia transfer pundit Gianluca Di Marzio warns that the opening Atletico Madrid offer for Theo Hernandez is only €15m, considerably lower than they were hoping for. Advertisement It's a blow after the player rejected a far more lucrative proposal from Al-Hilal. MILAN, ITALY – OCTOBER 19: Samuel Chukwueze scores the opening goal during the Serie A match between AC Milan and Udinese Calcio at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on October 19, 2024 in Italy. (Photo by) Chukwueze is also on his way out, but negotiations with Real Betis are still at very early stages. It is unlikely to match the €21.1m plus up to €7m in add-ons that the Rossoneri paid to sign him from Villarreal in 2023.

Tottenham approach Brentford over appointing Thomas Frank as head coach
Thomas Frank got Brentford promoted to the Premier League in 2021 and last season led them to 10th with 56 points. Thomas Frank got Brentford promoted to the Premier League in 2021 and last season led them to 10th with 56 points. Photograph: Nick Potts/PA Tottenham have approached Brentford over appointing Thomas Frank as their new head coach. The Dane is the club's No 1 target to replace Ange Postecoglou, who was sacked on Friday, and there is confidence that a deal will be struck in the next 48 hours. Negotiations are due to take place on the cost of recruiting Frank, who has a £10m release clause, and his backroom staff. The 51-year-old wants to join Spurs after almost seven years at Brentford, with c already in place. Advertisement Spurs have moved swiftly after parting company with Postecoglou, who lost his job despite winning the Europa League and ending the club's 17-year wait for a major trophy last month. The Australian's fate was decided after the chairman, Daniel Levy, looked past the side's European run and focused on a dreadful Premier League campaign. Spurs finished 17th last season after losing 22 games. That has not made the job less attractive to Frank, who will be taking over a team that earned Champions League qualification thanks to their triumph over Manchester United in Bilbao. Frank has established himself as one of the most respected managers in the top flight since leading Brentford to promotion from the Championship in 2021. They have steered clear of relegation battles and finished 10th last season. Frank has operated with a modest budget and has admitted that Brentford cannot hope to hold on to their best players if bigger clubs try to buy them. Bryan Mbeumo is expected to depart for Old Trafford this summer. It remains to be seen how Brentford respond if everything goes smoothly with Spurs and Frank departs. Kieran McKenna has been suggested as a potential replacement for Frank but it is not clear if he wants to leave Ipswich Town.
