An emotional Kristoffer Broberg put "six years of hell" behind him as he produced a battling 72 on the final day of the Dutch Open to hold off the chasing pack and claim his second European Tour title.

The Swede went into the final round with an eight-shot lead after Saturday's 61 but found himself just two clear with two holes remaining after a back nine that included two bogeys and some excellent saves.
