CELADNA:
Oliver Fisher carded a final round of 69 to win the Czech Open and capture his first European Tour title. The 22-year-old Englishman finished on 13-under, two shots ahead of Sweden’s Mikael Lundberg, to improve on his previous best of two runners-up spots. “It feels fantastic,” he said. “I can’t really explain what it means.” Starting the round level with Scotland’s Steven O’Hara, Fisher birdied six holes, but also carded three bogeys coming home. Lundberg, chasing his third victory, also signed for a 69, while Paraguay’s Fabrizio Zanotti was two shots further back.
