Colsaerts claims Volvo World Matchplay crown

Belgian Nicolas Colsaerts beat Graeme McDowell on the final green to win the Volvo World Match Play Championship and continue his remarkable record in Volvo-sponsored events.

Since winning his maiden European Tour title at the Volvo China Open in 2011 he has finished third at last year’s Volvo World Match Play, fourth at the Volvo Golf Champions and second at the 2012 Volvo China Open. But he was pushed all the way by McDowell, Europe’s 2010 Ryder Cup hero, at Finca Cortesin in Spain. Pic Getty Images
