CARDIFF: France’s Romain Langasque overturned a five-shot deficit to claim his maiden European Tour title at the Wales Open yesterday.
Langasque, 25, produced six birdies in a bogey-free round of six-under-par 65 to surge through a congested leaderboard and finish eight-under at the Celtic Manor Resort, two strokes clear of Finn Sami Valimaki, who carded a 69.
English duo David Dixon and Matthew Jordan shared third place at five-under, a shot clear compatriots Laurie Canter and James Morrison, and Swede Sebastian Soderberg.
Victory ensures Langasque a place in next month’s US Open Championship after finishing in the top 10 of the UK Swing Order of Merit, alongside Valimaki.
