LUMBRES, France (PA) -- Christian Nilsson stormed to the Saint-Omer Open title with a six-stroke victory in northern France on Sunday.
The 30-year-old Swede went one better than his runner-up finish last year as a final bogey-free round of 69 left him 13 under par for the tournament and earned him his first European Tour triumph.
Nilsson, who held a four-shot lead after the third round, never came under any pressure as the challenge of England's James Morrison was wrecked by an awful 76 in the final round. Morrison looked to be the only threat to Nilsson going into the final day's play, but ended up 11 shots back.

Spaniard Javier Colombo produced the joint-lowest final round, his 5-under 66 giving him a share of third as well. Italian Lorenzo Gagli and another Swede, Ake Nilsson, were the other two players on 3 under.
