The Belgian youngster edged out Eduardo de la Riva and England's Lee Slattery by one shot, just two weeks after winning his maiden European Tour title.

That triumph came at the Czech Masters, but Slattery could so easily have taken the crown had he sent the championship to a playoff on the 18th.

Having failed with a six-foot putt, Pieters' winning score of 19-under par was enough to see him come out on top at the Kennemer Golf and Country Club.

Italy's Fabrizio Zanotti finished in fourth place, meanwhile, one stroke ahead of Eddie Pepperell.
