There's no doubting Thomas - Pieters wins 

again at KLM Open
 
EUROPEAN TOUR COMMUNICATIONS
Belgium’s Thomas Pieters made it two victories in three weeks at the KLM Open, edging out Lee Slattery in a tense final round and denying the Englishman a double of his own.
Pieters, who won the Czech Masters a fortnight ago, was safely in the clubhouse on 19 under par at Kennemer Golf and Country Club courtesy of a five under par 65 in the final round, leaving Slattery, who claimed last week’s M2M Russian Open, needing to par the last to force a play-off.
Having found thick rough with his drive, Slattery had a putt from three feet to save par, but he missed, handing Pieters his second European Tour title and the €300,000 first prize.
Spaniard Eduardo De La took a share of second place thanks to a seven under par 63, while overnight co-leader Rafa Cabrera-Bello, also from Spain, signed off with a 71 to slip down to tied seventh.

Paul Lawrie tied for 10th place with a repeat of his second-round, one-over-par 71 for 14-under-par 266, built on his first-round 61 and his third-round 63.  He earned 34,560 euros

Quotes
Thomas Pieters
“I’m really, really happy. I felt like I played better in the Czech Republic, but my short game was great this week and saved me many times. I rolled in a couple of good ones early in the round and made a really good par save on the ninth which kept the round going. I had chances coming in and I felt like I needed to make a couple more. I feel bad for Lee as he played great.
“It wasn’t comfortable watching him play the last couple of holes. I was wishing I’d made one more birdie. I’m really happy overall with the week and how I played and it’s nice going forward from here. It’s special winning here, just down the road from home. It was great hearing all the Dutch fans cheering my name and getting behind me, so thanks to them. Our two countries kind of stick together. I’m really happy that my family was here again, too.”
Lee Slattery
“I went into today with a great chance of winning, and I feel like I’ve done everything right really apart from pull that last putt a little bit left. I played some great golf again and it’s given me a lot of confidence. To play at the level I have done this week, with a lot of top players in the field, and nearly get the job done is really pleasing. To leave myself 75 feet to two-putt for a play-off is asking a lot – it was a lot of pressure. I didn’t hit a great putt on that second one, I’ve got to be honest, but it was probably the first time this week I’ve felt under pressure. Well done to Thomas, he’s a great player.
“I’ve got a great feeling inside and I’ll be comforted by my family at home – we’ve got a big celebration next week for the win in Russia. A lot of great things have happened these last two weeks and I’ve just got to enjoy it.”
