Matthew Zions of Australia shot a 2-under 69 to win his first European Tour title Sunday at the Saint-Omer Open.

The overnight leader made four birdies and two bogeys for an 8-under 276 total to finish seven strokes ahead of Daniel Denison of England, who shared second place with Peter Gustafsson of Sweden  and Craig Lee of Scotland.

   Zions was a runner-up at last year’s Karnten Golf Open on the Challenge Tour and his previous best result on the European Tour was a ninth-place finish at the 2007 New Zealand Open.
