Shot Clock Masters report
Finland’s Mikko Korhonen claimed his first European Tour title as he eased to a six-shot win at the Shot Clock Masters in Austria.
Starting the final round with a five-shot lead, Korhonen made five birdies on his way to a round of 69 while having to battle two weather delays.
The 37-year-old was fortunate to get away with a couple of hooked drives, but the Finn managed to bounce back with birdies after the two bogeys he did make.
After a superb birdie at the 13th hole, Korhonen parred his final five holes with relative ease to lift the trophy at Diamond Country Club.
Next best was Scotland’s Connor Syme, who drained a huge birdie putt on the final green to bag himself the biggest payday of his young career so far.

Mention a European country, and Matt will tell you which resorts make the National Club Golfer Top 100s: European Resorts list. He might even throw in who designed the golf course and how many rooms the hotel has got at each one…
Matt got into the game of golf from a young age, following his old man to the local golf club. He fell for the sport, and now can’t seem to go a day without thinking about how to improve his game (Thanks Dad!). Matt has been a member of Howley Hall GC in Leeds since 2020, and is just about managing to maintain a single-figure handicap. He likes to remind people that he once broke 75, but won’t tell people that it was on a shortened course during the winter.
He moved to Leeds after graduating from the University of Central Lancashire with a First Class Honours degree in Sports Journalism. Matt joined NCG after almost five years travelling the world with the Professional Squash Association, working on events in all four corners of the globe.
Matt currently plays a Cobra King LTDx driver and RadSpeed 3-wood. TaylorMade monopolise the rest of his bag, with a SIM UDI, M5 irons and both Milled Grind and HI-TOE wedges, along with a Monza Redline putter. He uses a Vice Pro Plus golf ball, because he’s a bit different…
Away from golf, Matt is a Manchester United fan, and a keen runner, having ran the Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon (his first and possibly last), in May 2023.
