Golf: Romain Langasque captures first European Tour victory with win at Wales Open

France's Romain Langasque overturned a five-shot deficit to win his first European Tour title at the Wales Open on Sunday. Langasque carded six birdies and no bogeys in a closing 65 at Celtic Manor to finish eight under and two shots ahead of Finland's Sami Valimaki, with England's David Dixon and Matthew Jordan a shot further back. Sweden's Sebastian Soderberg needed to birdie the 18th to force a play-off but had a triple bogey eight after spinning his third shot back into the water. Scotland's Connor Syme, who shared the overnight lead with Soderberg, also found the water on the last to double bogey and slip into a tie for eighth. The win will take Langasque inside the world's top 100 for the first time and also secured a US Open debut next month via the mini order of merit from the first five events on the European Tour's UK Swing.
