Swedish rookie Oskar Henningsson, playing in his first European Tour season, captured his maiden title on Sunday with a two shot victory at the Czech Open.

Hennigsson, 23, who triumphed at the Qualifying School last November, shot a final round 67 for a 13 under total beat England’s Sam Little and overnight leader Steve Webster, who finished tied for second.

The Swede had been three shots behind Webster after the third round but birdies at the first, fourth and eighth holes edged him in front.

He had two more birdies on the way and even a bogey on the last couldn't dent his victory march as he became only the third player after Jose Maria Olazabal and Gordon Brand Junior to win Qualifying School and then land a title in their maiden European Tour season.

"It feels great. I'm overwhelmed," said the champion who had started the tournament with a double-bogey at his first hole on Thursday.

"I had no expectations that I would win this week, it feels strange but good.

"I've a ten-hour trip home by car so I will have a lot of time to think about it and what I have done."

Zimbabwe’s Marc Cayeux, England’s Graeme Storm and Spain’s Ignacio Garrido - who led for much of the day before four bogeys in a row from the tenth - were tied fourth on ten under.
