American Stewart Cink claimed his first major title as he defeated five-time winner Tom Watson in a four-hole play-off for the 138th Open at Turnberry.

Cink won the play-off by six shots to deny 59-year-old Watson the chance of a fairytale sixth Open win.

Watson had ended level with Cink on two under when he failed to sink two putts, one from off the green, on the 18th.

England’s Lee Westwood and Chris Wood ended on one under with Luke Donald, Mathew Goggin and Retief Goosen level.
