ANTWERP, Belgium -- Spanish golfer Nacho Elvira parred his final seven holes to hold on for a one-stroke victory at the Soudal Open in Belgium on Sunday and clinch his second title on the European tour.

Elvira started the final round with a four-shot lead, closed with an even-par 71 and was almost reeled in by Denmark's Niklas Nørgaard, who had a birdie putt from about 12 feet at No. 18 to force a playoff.

Nørgaard missed it right and had to settle for a 68 and a tie for second place with home favorite Thomas Pieters (66) and Romain Langasque, who birdied the last for a 68.
