Marc Warren captured his first European Tour title in six years on Sunday with a one-shot victory in the Austrian Open despite playing without his caddie who failed to pass a coronavirus test in time.

The Scotsman birdied two of the last four holes for his first title since 2014, when he triumphed in Denmark.

However, victory was achieved despite having to carry his own bags over the four rounds after his caddie failed to meet coronavirus protocols and was barred from the event at the Diamond Country Club.

"Carrying my bag this week probably helped tone it down a little, just going out and playing and seeing what happens. The result couldn't have been any better," said the champion.

"Hopefully this is the one and only time, no matter what I say, I do enjoy the caddie's company."
