Golf: O'Sullivan claims Scandinavian Seniors Intl

Ireland’s Denis O’Sullivan came from four shots off the overnight lead to capture his second title of the season at the STC Scandinavian Seniors International at Kungsangens GC near Stockholm.

Last season O’Sullivan closed with 67s to win both the Dan Technology Tournament of Champions and the Abu Dhabi Tour Championship.

He went two shots better at Kungsangens when he finished with a six under par 65 to record an eight under par aggregate of 205 and finish a single shot ahead of overnight leader Maurice Bembridge.

Victory gave the Cork man his second title of this season to add to the Palmerston Trophy in Germany a fortnight ago, but he would not have done it had it not been a late lapse from former Ryder Cup star Bembridge, who shanked his pitch to the last to run up a devastating double bogey that ended his chance to win for the first time since 1998.

"I was delighted with my own game but I have got to admit that is the last way I would have wanted to win the title," said O’Sullivan, after collecting the £37,485 winner’s cheque.
