JAIDEE WINS NORDEA MASTERS
Thongchai Jaidee clinched the Nordea Masters, after he won a playoff against Stephen Gallacher of Scotland and France's Victor Dubuisson. The Thailand number one birdied the par-5 18th at PGA Sweden's Lake Course while Gallacher and Dubuisson could only make par.
Jaidee hit six birdies and an eagle three on the 11th to finish in 7-under 65 and an overall 16-under 272 for his sixth European title. However, he said he was nervous on the last few holes.
Dubuisson could have avoided the playoff with a birdie on the 18th, but three-putted from just off the green for a 67. Gallacher (68) appeared to be out of the race when he bogeyed at No. 17, but he converted from 20 feet at the next.
Second-ranked Henrik Stenson (71) shared the lead with England's Eddie Pepperell after the third round. The Swede found himself needing an eagle on the last to win his home title for the first time but bogeyed after pushing his second off the green and ended fifth behind Robert-Jan Derksen (65) of the Netherlands.
