England's Matt Fitzpatrick has become the youngest ever winner of the Nordea Masters as he triumphed in Sweden by three shots on Sunday.

Four shots clear as he played the 18th, Fitzpatrick could afford to finish with a bogey as he triumphed ahead of Denmark's Lasse Jensen (68), with Nicolas Colsaerts (70) of Belgium in third.

The result sees Fitzpatrick claim his second European Tour title and boost his Ryder Cup chances, putting him third in the competition's qualifying race.
