Jaidee puts McIlroy in his place

- GOLF AFP

Rory McIlroy had to settle for third place as Thongchai Jaidee romped to a fourshot victory in the French Open on Sunday. Thailand’s Thongchai went into the final round with a two-stroke lead and a fantastic threeunder-par 68 helped him easily hold off the chasing pack on 11 under par. The 46-year-old went 39 holes without a bogey until he opted for safety on the 72nd hole with the title already all but assured.
