AMSTERDAM: Belgian Thomas Pieters won the Dutch Open on Sunday after England’s Lee Slattery bogeyed the final hole with a playoff looming.

Slattery had been chasing back-to-back European Tour victories after winning last week’s Russian Open after a seven-under 63 in the third round left him sharing the overnight lead with Spain’s Rafa Cabrera-Bello.

Instead it was Pieters who took a back-to-back Tour win, following up his Czech masters win, when Slattery missed a four foot putt for par.
