Thomas Pieters wins Czech Masters

Belgian golfer Thomas Pieters secures his first ever European Tour victory with success at the D + D Real Czech Masters in Prague.

Thomas Pieters has secured his first ever European Tour victory by winning the D + D Real Czech Masters in Prague.

The Belgian world number 245 led by one shot overnight over Pelle Edberg and extended that advantage to two shots with a birdie on the 13th.

The 23-year-old held his nerve to sink a birdie on the 18th to emerge victorious with a three-shot victory and record his first European Tour victory after the disappointment of losing a playoff to Miguel Angel Jiminez at last year's Open de Espana.

Edberg finished in second place on 18-under par, while Englishman Matthew Fitzpatrick could only manage third at 16-under despite starting the final day with four consecutive birdies.
