Golf: Bjorn clinches European Masters

CRANS-MONTANA: Thomas Bjorn made it back-to-back victories when he claimed the European Masters golf title with a spectacular closing nine-under-par 62. An unassailable finishing burst by the 40-year-old Dane for a 20-under-par 264 four-round total left him four shots better than Germany’s world number five Martin Kaymer (65). Two blistering bursts by Bjorn earned him his third win of the season and a $477,000 first prize.
