RABAT (Reuters) - Edoardo Molinari came from four shots behind at the start of the final round to win a European PGA Tour event for the first time in almost seven years when he edged Irishman Paul Dunne at the first playoff hole to take the Trophee Hassan II on Sunday.

Italian Molinari, 36, stormed through with two eagles in his last seven holes to shoot 68 and tie the 24-year-old Dunne, who had a two-stroke lead at the start of Sunday’s final round, at nine under-par after 72 holes at the Royal Golf Dar es Salam club in the Moroccan capital.
