Callum Shinkwin eases to victory at Cazoo Open in Wales

England's Callum Shinkwin claimed his second DP World Tour title with a four-shot victory in the Cazoo Open.

Shinkwin carded a closing 70 to finish 12 under par at Celtic Manor, where he has now finished first, fourth and eighth in his last three visits.

It was a disappointing afternoon for Ireland's Paul Dunne, who shot his highest round of the week - a 73 - to finish on one over par.

Having started the day on one under, he bogeyed three and four to drop back, and he couldn't improve things from there, with a birdie on nine, before a third bogey of the day on 12.

Niall Kearney shot his second 73 of the week and had to settle for a 10 over par total.

Elsewhere, A late charge from Scotland's Connor Syme secured second place on eight under, with Julien Guerrier, Andy Sullivan, David Dixon, Renato Paratore and Lucas Bjerregaard sharing third another three strokes back.

Guerrier had trailed Shinkwin by a shot after 54 holes and fell further behind with a bogey on the first, but immediately got on level terms thanks to a birdie on the second as Shinkwin bogeyed.

However, Guerrier then dropped shots on each of the next three holes and Shinkwin rolled in a hat-trick of birdies from the fourth to establish what proved to be an unassailable six-shot lead.

"There was a lot of pressure still and even down the last, it’s not an easy hole, a lot of people have made a high number there even if they’ve hit the fairway. It’s
