Nordea Masters win is worth wait for Waring

eNgliSh golfer Paul Waring admitted he doubted whether he would ever win on the european tour after finally doing so at the 200th attempt with a nerve-wracking victory in the Nordea Masters. Waring held a two-shot lead with four holes to play and was still one ahead at the last, only for playing partner thomas Aiken’s birdie forcing the extra holes. however, Aiken drove into the water when the players returned to the 18th for a suddendeath play-off and Waring’s par was good enough for victory. ‘i’m ecstatic,’ said Waring. germany’s Max Kieffer finished third, with thorbjorn Olesen’s fourth place enough to see him displace ian Poulter in the final automatic qualifying berth for the Ryder cup, with just two events remaining. highest-placed Scot was Marc Warren on six under.
