Associated Press

ASH, England — Ross Fisher shot a 4-under 68 today to win the European Open by seven strokes over Sergio Garcia in a wire-to-wire victory.

The 27-year-old Englishman finished with a 20-under total of 268.

Garcia shot 66, the best round on a day of strong winds and rain.

Graeme McDowell was third at 276 after a 73, while South African David Frost was fourth after a 71.

The 48-year-old Frost took the only place available in the July 17-20 British Open to a player not already exempt and finishing in the top five.
