Thriston Lawrence held off English duo Matt Wallace and Matt Fitzpatrick to claim an impressive two-shot victory at the DP World Tour’s Omega European Masters in Switzerland.
Players returned early on Sunday morning to complete a weather-disrupted third round at Crans-sur-Sierre GC, where Lawrence posted a seven-under 63 to stay one ahead of defending champion Wallace and two clear of Fitzpatrick.
The 2022 champion bogeyed the first three holes of his final round but charged ahead after making an eagle and five birdies in a nine-hole stretch around the turn, then closed out a four-under 66 to claim a fifth DP World Tour title.

Lawrence finished two clear of Wallace, Sami Valimaki and Rasmus Hojgaard, who charged up the leaderboard with a round-of-the-day 62, with Fitzpatrick three strokes back in fifth on 19 under.
Hojgaard is an automatic qualifier for Europe's Ryder Cup side, having secured his spot at the Betfred British Masters last week, while Fitzpatrick and Wallace will both be hoping for a captain's pick when Luke Donald completes his side on Monday - live from 2pm on Sky Sports Golf.
