Koepka beats Poulter to Turkish title

Brooks Koepka has won the Turkish Airlines Open with a one-shot victory over Ian Poulter in Antalya.

The American hit five birdies and an eagle during his final round of 68 on Sunday to finish with an overall score of 17-under par.

It is the first time that Koepka has won a title on the European Tour.

Poulter, who threw away a six-shot lead on Saturday, could have forced a playoff but a missed putt on the last saw Koepka crowned champion.

Henrik Stenson secured third place with a score of 14 under, while English duo Andy Sullivan and Danny Willett were among a group of four players on 13 under that included overnight leader Wade Ormsby.
