Golf:Thomas Pieters wins KLM Dutch Open ahead of Lee Slattery


Thomas Pieters continued his golden run of form as he collected his second European Tour title, just two weeks after his first, with a tense one-shot victory at the KLM Open.

The young Belgian carded a five-under 65 in the final round to finish on 19 under par and win by a single stroke over Eduardo de la Riva and Russian Open champion Lee Slattery, who looked set to force a play-off until missing a four-foot putt for par at the last.

The Englishman, who had not dropped a shot since the 10th hole of his third round, tapped in for a 68 to share second with De la Riva, who made a late charge up the leaderboard with five back-nine birdies in a superb 63.
