SUTTON COLDFIELD, England -- Niklas Norgaard held his nerve after botching three chip shots for a double bogey, finishing birdie-par for an even-par 72 and a two-shot victory Sunday in the British Masters.

It was the first European tour victory for the 32-year-old from Denmark, and Norgaard had to sweat it out more than expected.

He started the final round at The Belfry with a four-shot lead. Thriston Lawrence of South Africa closed to within one shot until a two-shot swing at the par-3 12th, when Norgaard made birdie and Lawrence took a bogey.
