Malmö (Sweden) (AFP) - Sweden's Alex Noren played a solid final round on Sunday to easily protect his overnight lead and win the Scandinavian Masters by four shots over last week's Irish Open winner Soren Kjeldsen.

The 32-year-old, from nearby Stockholm, wins his fourth EPGA event and second at the Malmo-hosted event after winning by seven strokes in 2011.

A final round of one-under par 71 was enough to see the former Oklahoma University student home on a day when birdies were at a premium.
