SANTO DA SERRA, Madeira Islands --Daniel Brooks made par on the first playoff hole Sunday to win the fog-shortened Madeira Islands Open, which was overshadowed by the death of a caddie earlier in the day.

Scott Henry, who had birdied the last three holes to force a playoff, three-putted for bogey on the first extra hole to finish second.

However, some European Tour members said the tournament should have been stopped after Ian MacGregor, the 52-year-old Zimbabwe-born caddy to Scotland's Alastair Forsyth, collapsed and died of an apparent heart attack on the ninth fairway -- Forsyth's final hole.

The event, which had already been shortened to 36 holes because of a series of fog delays, was halted again after the delay but restarted following a minute's silence.

"Can't believe they are going to keep playing in Madeira," Pablo Larrazabal, who was not in the tournament, wrote on Twitter. "Life is more important than golf."

France's Jean-Baptiste Gonnet, who missed the first-round cut, also wrote: "There is no respect anymore. How you can even walk on the 9th fairway."

However, European Tour officials said they had consulted with players and caddies before deciding to play on. Forsyth said it was the right decision.

"I felt that was what Mac would have wanted," 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'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.

"He was the life and soul of the caddies' lounge, a good laugh and nice guy. I'm absolutely numb."

Brooks shot a 5-under 67 to sit tied with Henry (68) at 9-under 135 after the second and final round.

SANTO DA SERRA, Madeira Islands (AP)

The Madeira Islands Open was reduced to 36 holes because of persistent fog on Saturday, with the first round still incomplete.

Play in the European Tour's 1,500th event couldn't start on Thursday, and delays on Friday meant the tournament was cut to 54 holes with 77 players yet to finish. On Saturday, with the mountain course still shrouded in fog, 36 players were yet to card a round when play was suspended, and the tournament cut to 36 holes for the first time in its 22-year history.

It was the first time since the inaugural Nelson Mandela Championship in 2012 that a European Tour event has been reduced to 36 holes.

Scotland's Scott Jamieson won that event in South Africa, and his countryman Scott Henry led Madeira by one shot after a 5-under par 67 he managed on Friday.

If Henry secures his first Tour victory, he will still be afforded the one-year tour exemption despite the reduced event.

The English duo of Daniel Brooks and Lloyd Kennedy shared second place on 68.
