NICOLAS COLSEARTS WINS AT OPEN DE FRANCE

Former Ryder Cup player Nicolas Colsaerts has won his first title since 2012 at the Open de France.

Despite carding a one-over-par 72 in the final round at Le Golf National, the Belgian finished one shot ahead of Denmark’s Joachim B. Hansen.

Colsaerts began the week 114th on the European Tour’s Race to Dubai and in danger of losing his card.

“I’ve been coming here for I don’t know how many years, it’s been a long road, ” he told Sky Sports.

“So many people have supported me over the years, that’s why I get so emotional. I went through ups and downs for so many years now.”

Recent years for Colsaerts have been a far cry from 2012 when he was selected as a wildcard by captain Jose Maria Olazabal to be part of the European team that pulled off the ‘Miracle of Medinah’ when they came from 10-4 down to defeat the USA 14.5-13.5.
