Colsaerts wins in China

Nicolas Colsaerts secured a four-shot victory at the Volvo China Open to lift his first European Tour title.

The Belgian stormed around the Luxehills Country Club today in his final round to post a six-under 66 which left him 24 under for the tournament.

That left Colsaerts with room to spare over Pablo Martin, Danny Lee, Peter Lawrie and Soren Kjeldsen, who were tied for second place on 20 under.

Sweden’s Christian Nilsson finished a shot further back in sixth, with Englishman Danny Willett and Jamie Donaldson of Wales sat alongside Gregory Havret in a trio of players on 18 under.

Colsaerts has been consistent throughout the week and held a one-shot lead over Han Chang-won heading into the final day.

And the 28-year-old maintained that form today, with six birdies and a flawless round taking him clear of the chasing pack.

Colsaerts becomes only the second Belgian to win a European Tour title, following in the footsteps of Phillipe Touissant 37 years ago.
