Marcel Siem clinched the Italian Open at the age of 43 after a dramatic finish.

In the playoff, Siem held his nerve to secure his sixth Tour win. Antoine Rozner, who had led at various points, finished at -8, while other notable performances included Shubhankar Sharma at -11 and Sebastian Friedrichsen, both of whom were close contenders during the final round.
