CRANS MONTANA (SWITZERLAND): Scotland’s Richie Ramsay claimed the biggest win of his career on Sunday at the European Masters in the Swiss Alps, a final-round 66 handing him victory by a four-shot margin.
Ramsay finished at 16 under par, with Australia’s Marcus Fraser, Romain Wattel of France, Fredrik Andersson Hed of Sweden and England’s Danny Willett all on 12 under.
It is the second tour title of Ramsay’s career after his triumph at the South African Open in 2010, and the second win in as many weeks for a Scotsman, following Paul Lawrie’s success at the Johnnie Walker Championship at Gleneagles last weekend.
India’s SSP Chowrasia carded a final round of even par 71 to finish a “confidence boosting” tied 41st along with compatriot Jyoti Randhawa.
“I’m happy with my result this week. I’ve been struggling lately and this performance has come at the right time,” said Chowrasia, who missed the cuts in three of his five starts on the Asian Tour before this weeks event.
Meanwhile, Rory McIlroy fired a second consecutive six-under 65 to take a one-shot lead after the second round of the Deutsche Bank Championship on Saturday but Tiger Woods was lurking just two shots back.
The world number one set the pace in the morning with a round consisting of six birdies, an eagle and two bogeys to lead by one over former British Open champion Louis Oosthuizen. (Agencies)
