Nilsson wins Saint-Omer Open

Sweden's Christian Nilsson won the EPGA Open at Saint-Omer on Sunday after carding a final round 69 to finish on a 13-under-par 271, six strokes clear of Jose-Filipe Lima, as he went one better than last year's second place finish.

Ake Nilsson of South Africa came in third ten shots off the champion.

"It feels great. I'm still in shock at the moment I think," said Nilsson, saluting a "massive win."

"It might take a while to realise just what it means," he added after his first European Tour success netted him 100,000 euros.

"I was very nervous this morning and I didn't sleep that well last night either. I was just trying to focus on how I was going to play, but so many thoughts were going round my head at the same time.

"So I was extremely pleased with how I handled the pressure today. I'm just so, so happy," Nilsson told europeantour.com.

England?s James Morrison, Nilsson?s closest rival going into the final day, fell away as he carded a 76 to leave him just two under par.
