Last-hole jitters for Van De Velde

JEAN Van de Velde savoured a rare victory on the European Tour by winning the Madeira Island Open yesterday.

But the man who famously lost the British Open at Carnoustie in 1999 made it hard for himself, shooting a double-bogey six at the last after a poor chip from the back of the green.

Van de Velde finished the day on 68 and a four-round total of 273, 15 under, with Lee Slattery one shot back after a superb 66.
