Cejka ends barren spell with sweet victory in Lancome

GERMANY’S Alex Cejka ended seven years of bad luck with victory in the Lancome Trophy at St Nom La Breteche yesterday.

Cejka carded a closing round 68 at St Nom La Breteche for a 12 under par total of 272 and two-shot win over Spain’s Carlos Rodiles, France’s Jean-Francois Lucquin and Argentinian Angel Cabrera sharing third a shot further back.

Ian Woosnam’s brilliant third round 65 had put him just one off the lead at the start of the day, but the Welshman could only card a one over 72 to finish joint 13th after twice finding the water which separates the ninth and 18th greens.
