Gregory Bourdy birdied his last three holes Sunday to end a four-year winless drought with a two-shot victory at the Wales Open.
The Frenchman started Sunday three shots behind Peter Uihlein of the United States but had a good start with an eagle at the par-5 second hole. He finished even stronger with birdies at 16 and 17 before holing a 15-foot putt at the last for a 67 and an 8-under total of 276.
Uihlein birdied 15 and 17 but needed another one at the 18th to force a playoff. However, he three-putted for bogey to settle for a 72 and Bourdy got his first victory since the 2009 Hong Kong Open title, and fourth European Tour victory overall.
"It was an amazing round and I made an amazing finish with those three birdies in a row, so I am very happy," Bourdy said. "I will remember the finish on this great course for a long time. A lot of great moments have been here."
