Jacquelin keeps cool to finally triumph in Sicily

FRANCE’S Raphael Jacquelin held off the challenge of Britain’s Anthony Wall to claim his third European Tour title with a one-shot victory at the weather-delayed Sicilian Open yesterday.

The players were forced to return to the course for a Monday finish after play was suspended for two and a half hours on Sunday. Holding a one-shot lead over his playing partner Wall heading into the final six holes, Jacquelin closed with a three-under-par 68 for a 12-under-par total of 272 over his four rounds.

“It was a good fight between the two of us and I think that helped us to play the way we did, because we were always close, and playing together made it a good fight,” Jacquelin said.
