COLSAERTS WINS IN FINLAND IN PLAY OFF.

Belgium,Nicolas Colsaerts won his first event on the Challenge tour when he won the SK GOLF CHALLENGE in FINLAND.
COLSAERTS won the hard way.he finished with 2 birdies for a final round 66 and a -11 total,to join Wales guy Rhys Davies as clubhouse leaders.France's,Julien Guerrier only needed a par to take the title,instead he made a bogey and had to join Colsaerts and Davies in a play off.
The play off lasted two holes before Nicolas Colsaerts was presented with the trophy and a cheque for 28,000 Euros that has lifted him into 7th place on the order of merit and now in with a great chance of a full European card next year.
Guerrier and Davis picked up 15,750 Euros and are both in the top 20.
4th place went to first round leader,Jose-filipe lima on 10 under par.
Local favorite,Roope kakko had a bad day and finished down in 8th place after a closing 73 that left him -8 for the tourament.

Irelands,Colm Moriarty had another dissapointing finish.He finished down in a share of 47th on a +1 total after a level par round of 72.
His cheque for 805 Euros didn.t help his order of merit position.He is the top Irish man in 51st position.
