The German holed his seven-iron to the 170 yard 17th to give the home fans plenty to cheer about.

As well as the boost to his scorecard – Siem shot a 73 to lie three under par – the 37 year old also won a Porsche Panamera Turbo Sport Turismo worth € 158,604.

“It’s awesome," said Siem. "I was not in a happy place anyhow being three over par, my putting was horrible today, and at least I didn’t have to putt on 17, so that was cool.

"Jamie (Donaldson) is a really good friend of mine, my wife on the tee box as well and in Germany, so it was pretty cool.

"You know sometimes you’re on a hole, nobody is there and nobody sees it, but it was pretty packed there so that was a good feeling.”
