Jayden Schaper closed with a two-under-par 69 on Sunday to finish the DP World Tour’s KLM Open at The International in Amsterdam, Netherlands in a share of 11th on four-under-par for the tournament.
Schaper shared 11th with Spain’s Nacho Elvira and countryman Richard Sterne. Sterne closed with a one-under-par 70, which included an eagle on the first and a double-bogey on the second. Schaper had five birdies and three bogeys.
It took a birdie on the 18th for Spaniard Eugenio Chacarra to win his second DP World Tour title. Oliver Lindell of Sweden had put the pressure on the long-time leader as a round of 69, capped by a birdie of his own, took him alongside Chacarra at 10-under-par.
But the Spaniard responded in kind with an excellent approach setting up a two-putt from around 20 feet to seal the crown at The International in Amsterdam.
“Shot of my career, maybe!” he said of the approach.
“That was a little ‘tweener’ but with adrenaline I’m going to try to hit this one hard, it flew 10-15 longer than we thought. So, proud to see the ball land on the green and then took a nice first putt to give me a putt that you always dream of, a putt that you can’t really miss to win a tournament.”
Chacarra spoke after Saturday’s round of how he relishes tough conditions and Sunday in Amsterdam certainly delivered, with high winds throughout. The low round of the day was just a three-under-par 68 from Marcel Siem, while only eight players shot in the 60s. “Obviously it’s something we can’t control but the wind was there, it was changing and it was tough,” Chacarra said.
