MOSCOW // Sweden's Mikael Lundberg birdied two of his last three holes to clinch the Russian Open on Sunday for his second European Tour title. The 34-year-old, who won his maiden tour title at the Moscow Country Club three years ago in a sudden-death playoff on the fourth extra hole, shot a four-under-par 68 in the final round to finish on 21-under 267, beating Spain's Jose Manuel Lara by two strokes.

Lundberg, who was tied with Lara on 19-under with three holes to play, made a 27-feet birdie putt on the par-three 16th to charge ahead, then birdied the par-five 17th to move two up on the Spaniard. Britain's Benn Barham finished third, another stroke back after carding a 68 on Sunday. * PA Sport
