SAINT-OMER, France (AP) — Martin Wiegele of Austria has captured his first European Tour title, shooting a 3-under 68 Sunday to win the Saint-Omer Open.

Wiegele finished two shots ahead of a group of five players after making four birdies with only one bogey to finish at 7-under 277.

Pelle Edberg of Sweden was tied for second place with Raphael Jacquelin of France and English players Matt Haines, Robert Dinwiddie and Jamie Elson.

Overnight leader Elson hit one more birdie than Wiegele on Sunday but hurt his chances with seven bogeys in a 73.

The 398th-ranked Wiegele won the Lexus Open in 2007 and the Karnten Golf Open this year on the Challenge Tour.
