Comprehensive final rounds from Hend and Noren left the pair tied at the top of the standings as they held off the field in Switzerland.

Noren's approach landed on the green, leaving Hend with a chip from the edge. His shot was several feet short of the cup, leaving Noren a long putt to win—and the Swede was up to the task in hand, as he won the day.

Noren held his nerve to sink his effort, and his friends and supporters sprayed him with champagne as he celebrated with his family.

There were several strong finishes, as two of England's best fought for position in the latter stages.

Andrew "Beef" Johnson had set the pace, holing out with a round of 65 to finish 14 under for the competition, which left him in third position.

The European Tour highlighted the player's momentum on the greens at Crans Montana: 

Compatriot Lee Westwood stormed through the field during the final round, posting a magnificent final round of 63 on Sunday, ending on 12 under after progressively improving throughout the weekend.

Westwood sunk five birdies on the front nine and a further two on the back nine, propelling into late contention.

The veteran recorded a clean round, as he avoided a bogey on the last day of action and finished fourth.

There was nothing between the top two players in Switzerland, but Hend couldn't find the finish that his fine golf had deserved.

Noren showed no fear during the play-off, and the margin was a solitary putt as he claimed the trophy.
