Congratulations to pupils Edoardo Molinari and Mark Brown who finished 3rd and 4th respectively in the Nordea Scandinavian Masters.

Both players battled it out with Louis Oosthuizen, KJ Choi and Rafa Echinique in what was an exciting final last round before the Swede, Richard S Johnson sank a 30 foot birdie putt on the final green to become only the second home winner of the event in the last 12 years.

With a play-off looming against Argentina's Echenique, the 33 year old looked to have played safe with his approach to the 407 yard last at Bro Hof Slott near Stockholm.

But months of putting problems in America - he is now based there, but has not had a single top-30 finish since February - were forgotten as he took his second European Tour title eight years after his first.

Johnson, whose regular caddie Lance Ten Broeck went and played in The Senior Open Championship presented by MasterCard instead, earned €333,330 after a closing 71 gave him an 11 under par total of 277.

"It's one of the sweetest things I've ever done," he said. "Just to come up the 17th and 18th is magical.

"This is a huge tournament to win for a Swede and I'm speechless right now. It's epic."

Italian Edoardo Molinari, winner of The Barclays Scottish Open two weeks ago, finished third thanks to a 20 foot last putt. A result that leaves him on the edge of an automatic place in the Ryder Cup Team.

A second place finish would have put him fourth in the standings and would have put Luke Donald out of the all-important top nine, although the English star had a chance to improve his hopes of a recall in Canada later in the day.

Brown meanwhile, although a tournament winner on the tour, achieved his first top 10 finish in mainland Europe, his previous best performances having all been in Asia. His best of the day 3rd round 67 included no fewer than 23 putts.
