00:00Hello, it's Martin Dempsey, the Scotsman Golf Correspondent here, coming to you from a very wet Wentworth at the end of the BMW PGA Championship.
00:12As you can hear in the background and see on a screen as well, behind me, the end of event concert by Ella Henderson is now in full swing.
00:25Prior to place, at the end of the £8m Rolex Series event, went to in-form Swede, Alex Norton.
00:34He landed the title for the second time after beating Frenchman Adrian Sadie at the first extra hole in a play-off after the pair had finished locked together on 19 under par.
00:49It was Norton's second win in three events, having also triumphed in the Betfred British Masters, hosted by Sir Nick Faldo at the Belfry.
01:00In between those triumphs, Norton was named as Luke Donald's final vice-captain for the upcoming Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black.
01:10Some people might say that the experienced Swede should be playing on the team, and that may have been the case if he hadn't missed a chunk of events early in the season due to a hip injury.
01:24Norton himself said that he feels the 12 players heading to Long Island are the right players for this assignment, and the Swede is certainly looking forward to being part of Europe's bid to win on US soil for the first time since 2012, albeit behind the scenes.
01:46Ewan Ferguson, he was in with a chance, played brilliantly in the last round, especially on the back nine.
01:55He was standing on the tee, just two shots, the last tee, just two shots off the lead, looking to make an eagle there, only to carve his drive off to the right.
02:04Ended up finishing with a six, which left him a little bit disappointed to finish in joint fifth position.
02:11However, Ferguson will be back in the mix again soon.
02:17He's one of those players that likes to be in contention, and he'll certainly take confidence from this performance.
