Gregory Havret described it as a “tough day” after getting up and down from the bunker at 18 to sneak victory in the Johnnie Walker Championship at Gleneagles.
Havret won by a shot from Graeme Storm after a round of 70 gave him a 14 under par total.
It was Havret’s second victory on Scottish soil, after he won the 2007 Scottish Open after a tense play-off against Phil Mickelson.
The Frenchman birdied the second but dropped shots at the third and fifth as he looked to complete a wall-to-wall victory.
An eagle at the par five ninth and a birdie at 14 saw him reclaim the lead after the earlier players had moved ahead of him.
At the 15th - where the Frenchman had registered two double bogeys this week - Havret must have feared the worst when his second shot found the bunker.
But he chipped to 12 feet and holed a steady putt to save par.
