Alastair beat Henne Otto with a birdie on the first
extra hole of the play-off.
In 2014 at the same PGA Tournament in Madeira Alistair's caddie Ian MacGregor died
on the final day of the event on the 9th hole whilst caddying for Alistair.
He was 52 and died of a apparent heart attack. Forsyth said. "He was a guy I've known for 15 years
and he was very popular amongst the caddies.
"Obviously my thoughts go out to his family. For something like that to happen so suddenly is so sad,"
he added. "He's far too young and he had no problem carrying bags around a golf course so I didn't see an awful lot wrong with him."
