Rookie Win For Waring In Sweden

Britain’s Paul Waring (pictured) literally had to battle for his maiden win on the European Tour.

The 33-year old Englishman outlasted South Africa’s Thomas Aiken in a play-off to win the Nordea Masters in Gothenburg.

Waring held a two-shot lead with four holes to play before Aiken birdied the last to force extra holes.

Waring and Aiken both shot two-under 68s to finish on 14-under par, a shot ahead of Germany’s Max Kieffer, who carded a five-under 65 in the final round.

Denmark’s Thorbjorn Olesen finished fourth to move ahead of England’s Ian Poulter in the race to qualify automatically for Europe’s Ryder Cup team.

The lead at the Nordea Masters continues to be deadlocked between two players going into the final round.

Both Aiken and Waring are at 12-under-par heading into Sunday’s final round at Sweden’s Hills Golf Club.

Thorbjorn Olesen of Denmark is at nine-under, while German Maximilian Kieffer is a further shot back.

The overnight leader, Clement Sordet of France was bumped off his perch and made way for two Britons.

Jamieson carded seven birdies in his five-under 65, while Waring went one better with eight in his 63 to leave both on 11-under par.

South Africa’s Thomas Aiken (65) is their nearest challenger.
