Syme is a sparkling success in Amsterdam as Scot claims his first DP World Tour title
Scotland's Connor Syme enjoyed a champagne-drenched celebration after claiming his first title on the DP World Tour. The 29-year-old went into the final round at the KLM Open in Amsterdam with a two-shot lead over playing partner Joakim Lagergren — and maintained the same advantage despite a brilliant closing eagle from the Swede. Syme finished 11 under after shooting a one-under-par 70 and making only one bogey in his final 38 holes. He said: 'Unbelievable, it was so, so difficult the last few days. I just felt so much better this week, I felt really ready to do it, and I'm so, so happy I managed to do it. 'Everyone helped so much and I'm buzzing to do it with Ryan McGuigan on the bag as well. I'm overjoyed.' Wife Alanis flew out to the Netherlands to surprise Syme on the final green, where he also enjoyed being soaked in champagne by compatriot Ewen Ferguson — who hit a hole in one earlier in the day to help him finish in a tie for fourth — and England's Richard Mansell. 'It's so, so nice that they stuck around,' said Syme. 'I've obviously been really pleased for them (when they've won titles) and I'm really happy to have joined them and won myself, so it's just amazing. Amazing.' Lagergren also closed with a 70, while South Africa's Jayden Schaper finished in third place, a further five shots behind, with a 69. Ferguson shot 67 to tie with fellow Scot Richie Ramsay (72) and Englishman Jack Senior (66).

Ferguson takes charge of Soudal Open with brilliant 64
Scotland's Ewen Ferguson shot a stunning second-round 64 to move into a three-shot halfway lead at the Soudal Open in Antwerp. The 28-year-old Scot carded seven birdies at Rinkven International GC as he completed a second successive bogey-free round for an 11-under-par total. It carried him three shots clear of England's Marco Penge, with Dutch pair Joost Luiten and Darius Van Driel, American Troy Merritt and English trio John Parry, Brandon Robinson Thompson and Andrew Wilson sharing third on seven under. Ferguson said: "I quite enjoy when a par is a good score. I find it tough sometimes when you just need to make birdies and there's a lot of pressure on to make birdies. "So when it's quite tough like that to grind out pars, I feel comfortable with that because that's how I was brought up playing and in Scotland par is a brilliant score." Jason Scrivener, the lone Australian at the Belgian tournament, was six shots behind the leader in a share of ninth place, after a second-round 68.
