VAN'S THE MAN WITH ASTONISHING WIN IN MAURITIUS OPEN

Van Phillips made up an astonishing eight strokes over the last 12 holes to win the Mauritius Open over 54 holes today.
The Englishman's victory charge was capped when former Ryder Cup player and tournament leader Philip Price four-putted the last green.

Phillips dropped four strokes over the first six holes over which Price had four birdies.
Price led by three shots from Cevaer after nine holes. Then Phillips lit the blue touch paper with birdies at the 10th, 11th, 12th, 15th, 16th, 17th and 18th, coming home in only 29 shots.
Phillips' three rounds were 74, 64 and 69 for nine-under-par 207.
He won by one stroke from three players who tied for second place on 208 - Philip Price (69-69-70), Jose Rivero (782-67-69) and Mile Tunnicliff (72-71-65).
Cevaer fell away to fifth place on 209 with 71, 67 and 71.
Anglo-Scot Bill Longmuir tied for 10th place ono 214 with scores of 73, 69 and 72.
Full-blown Scot Martin Gray, a regular on the European Seniors Tour, finished joint 20th on 221 with scores of 73, 73 and 75.
