Graeme Storm, the former amateur champion, strode to a maiden European Tour triumph in the French Open at Golf National in Versailles as Colin Montgomerie again dramatically failed to breast the tape. The Scot looked set to end his 18-month drought when a clear leader with seven holes left but a brace of birdies dashed his hopes.
Storm who holed the winning putt in the 1999 Walker Cup after carrying off that year's amateur crown, fired 66 for a seven-under par 277 and a one-stroke win from the Dane Soren Hansen (72). It earned him nearly £450,000 and a place in the starting line-up for the Open at Carnoustie in two weeks' time.
