FORT COLLINS, Colo. – Colorado State men's golfer Max Oelfke continued his stellar play this summer as he won a playoff to capture the 2017 German Amateur, July 27-30. The 78^th annual four-day, 72-hole tournament was played at the Hamburger Golf-Club e.V. in Hamburg, Germany, with the tournament field cut after 36 holes.

Oelfke shot a final round 3-under 68 and a four-round total of 12-under 272 (68-68-68-68) to advance to the playoff with Lukas Euler, the only other player in the field with four sub-70 rounds in the tournament. On the third extra hole, Oelfke made a birdie after Euler missed his attempt to take the title.

"I am really happy about my performance at the IAM of Germany," Oelfke said. "With an outstanding ball-striking performance and killer showing on the extra holes, I saved my second title of the summer. I also confirmed my good play and development over the last couple of months and weeks."

This win comes on the heels of Oelfke winning the 2017 International Amateur Golf Championship of Luxembourg in a thrilling playoff, July 6-8, at Golf-Club Grand-Ducal (Par 71) in the Centre of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. There, the rising senior shot an 8-under 205 (71-68-66) in a to tie with Julian Schinnenburg and eventually win the title on the fourth playoff hole.
