In the European Tour's Iberdrola Open Cala Millor in Majorca, Swede Peter Hanson shrugged away what might have been a critical one-stroke penalty imposed for a 'double hit', picked up two late birdies for a closing four-under 66 that matched Canizares 6-under total and forced a sudden death play-off which he went on to win at the first extra hole.
Only a slow motion television camera caught the fact that Hanson clipped his chip on the 12th a second time.
After being told about the penalty by the Tour's chief referee, John Paramor, two holes later the 32-year-old Hanson fell two behind with four to play.
But birdie putts of 12 and 30 feet at the 15th and 17th brought him level, he saved par from a bunker at the last and then won when Canizares failed to get up and down from the same trap on the first extra hole.
The pair had both been two behind at the start of the final round of the Iberdrola Open at the Pula Golf Club(discount golf clubs), but while leaders Pelle Edberg and Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano slumped to four over par 74s the front runners each shot a 66.
It gave them six under totals of 274, four clear of South African James Kingston, who finished third on his own when Edberg double-bogeyed the short 18th.
He was shown the incident on the completion of his round and commented: "It looks strange, but of course it was a double hit. The ball went down and then I hit it again. Sometimes it's good to have these fantastic cameras and sometimes it's bad - but it was fair."
His very next shot after being spoken to flew into a bush and with nowhere to drop he had to walk back up the fairway.
Making a 25-foot bogey putt there was crucial to his morale, but the one on the 17th was the really dramatic one as it hit the back of the hole at speed, jumped up and landed on the back lip before toppling in.
Victory could lift Hanson back into the world's top 50 and if he is there next Monday it will save him from having to qualify for the US Open. Last year he holed-in-one in a play-off to make it through.
