Casey claims KLM crown in Kennemer

England's Paul Casey celebrated the recent birth of his first child by claiming his 13th European Tour title in the KLM Open on Sunday.

Casey, whose fiance Pollyanna Woodward gave birth to a baby boy on 1 September, carded a closing 66 at Kennemer Golf Club to finish 14 under par, one ahead of three-time champion Simon Dyson.

England's Andy Sullivan was another stroke back in third but also won a trip into space worth $100,000 for a hole-in-one on the 15th, although he admitted he was not certain to become an amateur astronaut.

"I'm not sure yet," said Sullivan, who holed out with a nine iron on the 163-yard hole on his way to a closing 67. "I'll see what the missus says!"

Casey began the day four shots off the lead - just as he did before his last victory in the Irish Open in 2013 - but made the ideal start with four birdies in his first seven holes, and with overnight leader Romain Wattel dropping a shot on the seventh, Casey moved into a lead he was not about to relinquish.

A birdie on the 14th was followed by his only bogey of the day on the 15th and with Dyson making a birdie on the last to complete a flawless 65, Casey's lead was down to a single shot.

However, the former world number three held his nerve to close with three pars and seal the victory.

Padraig Harrington and Shane Lowry were best of the Irish, both finishing on five under par, tied for 28th.

Simon Thornoton ended on one under, Darren Clarke was four over, while Damien McGrane was one shot further back.
