Ramsay scales peak in Swiss victory

Richie Ramsay claimed the second european Tour victory of his career when he won the Omega european masters title by four shots at crans-sur-sierre in the swiss alps.

The scot followed up a blemish-free 64 in his third round with a five-under-par 66, which had him move up to £605,000 in the race to Dubai.

Five birdies on the opening nine holes set up the 29-year-old, and although he bogeyed 13 and 17, an eagle on the par-five 14 made sure of victory.

“i played really well,” said Ramsay, whose previous title came at the south african Open championship three years ago.

“it was nice to gradually gain some momentum through the week and find form as the week went on.

“as the week went on, i got better and better and i couldn’t be happier.”
