SAINT-QUENTIN-EN-YVELINES, France: Englishman Tommy Fleetwood fired a bogey-free final round of 66 to win the French Open at Le Golf National by one shot on Sunday (Monday in Manila). The 26-year-old finished on 12 under par for the tournament after his five-under closing effort, edging out American Peter Uihlein, whose charge came too late. It was a third European Tour title for Fleetwood, who finished fourth at the US Open last month. He will head to the British Open, which starts on July 20 in his hometown of Southport, expecting to significantly improve his record of three straight missed cuts. Sweden’s Bjoerk rattled in a long birdie putt on the final green to grab one of the three British Open places on offer.
