NEWPORT, Wales (AP) — Gregory Bourdy birdied his last three holes Sunday to end a four-year winless drought with a two-shot victory at the Wales Open.

The Frenchman started Sunday three shots behind Peter Uihlein of the United States but had a good start with an eagle at the par-5 second hole. He finished even stronger with birdies at 16 and 17 before holing a 15-foot putt at the last for a 67 and an 8-under total of 276.

Uihlein birdied 15 and 17 but needed another one at the 18th to force a playoff. However, he three-putted for bogey to settle for a 72.

Soeren Kjeldsen was third, three strokes off the lead.
