Kieffer lost for words after Czech Masters triumph

Maximilian Kieffer was left lost for words after claiming his first DP World Tour victory at the Czech Masters.

The tournament was reduced to 54 holes because of heavy rain on Saturday in Prague.

But nothing could dampen Kieffer's delight after he overhauled overnight leader Gavin Green.

Kieffer carded seven birdies and just one bogey for his final-round 66.

He finished 16 under par, one stroke ahead of Green, who ultimately paid the price for a double bogey six at the par-four 14th.

"It's tough right now to say what it means. It's great, I am lost for words a little bit," said Kieffer.

"I wanted to be ready in case he [Green] made birdie. When the guy from the TV said 'you've won it' the feeling was ridiculous.

"I don't know how I feel, I think it will need a few days. I just love golf, I just love to play golf. Even if I had not won I still have a great life, I still enjoy playing golf. So now to win it's even better."

"Hard work, always keep going and keep grinding," the 32-year-old Kieffer said when asked what he attributed his win to.

"You have good days, you have bad days, you have to enjoy the good days and on the bad days you just have to dig deep and keep going."
