Jacobson relieved after maiden win

Fredrik Jacobson can at last call himself a winner after his two-shot victory at the Omega Hong Kong Open ended the Swede’s run of near-misses.

A final-round 64 gave the 28-year-old a 16-under-par total of 260, two better than compatriot Henrik Nystrom and Argentinian Jorge Berendt, securing a first prize of more than €112,000 and a playing exemption until the end of the 2005 season.
