Siem storms to French win

Germany’s Marcel Siem ended an eight-year winless drought to capture the French Open as Ireland’s Peter Lawrie had a tale of misfortune to tell after an incident involving a Versailles marshal.

Despite a bogey at the last, the ponytailed Siem captured only his second Tour title courtesy of a closing round 67 to win by a stroke at eight under par.

Italy’s Francesco Molinari stormed home in 64 to grab second place while French crowds cheered on Raphael Jacquelin (69), who finished third on six under par.
