Scotland's Syme 'overjoyed' after KLM Open victory
KLM Open final round leaderboard -11 C Syme (Sco); -8 J Lagergren (Swe); -4 J Schaper (RSA); -3 E Ferguson (Sco), J Senior (Eng), R Ramsay (Sco) Selected others: -2 A Sullivan (Eng), D Bradbury (Eng); -1 G Forrest (Sco), N Kimsey (Eng) Advertisement Full leaderboard Connor Syme battled difficult conditions at the KLM Open to shoot a final-round 71 and win his first DP World Tour title. The Scot, 29, led the field by two shots after 54 holes and no player was able to chase him down as the rain fell and wind gusted in Amsterdam. Sweden's Joakim Lagergren eagled the last to finish on nine under par, but his playing partner Syme held his nerve to make a par of his own and win by two shots. The Kirkcaldy-born golfer takes home the first prize of $467,500 and was congratulated on the 18th green by compatriot Ewan Ferguson, who finished three under par and made a hole-in-one at the par-three seventh earlier in the day. Advertisement Richie Ramsay made it three Scots in the top ten, matching Ferguson's score for the week. "I'm just so happy I managed to do it," Syme said. "Everyone helped so much and I'm buzzing to do it with Ryan [McGuigan] on the bag as well, I'm overjoyed. "It's so nice they stuck around. I've been really pleased for them and I'm delighted to have won myself, amazing." Syme's had one previous win since turning professional in 2017, coming in the 2019 Turkish Airlines Challenge on the Challenger Tour.
