DP World Tour: Mikael Lindberg wins Turkish Airlines Open to qualify for PGA Championship

Mikael Lindberg secured his maiden DP World Tour title and qualified for the PGA Championship with a two-stroke win at the Turkish Airlines Open.

The 33-year-old Swede held off playing partner Daniel Rodrigues with a final round of 69 to finish on 10-under 278 at a rain-swept National Golf Club in Belek, Antalya.

Lindberg, who ensured a debut major appearance at Aronimink Golf Club in two weeks' time, said: "This is a dream come true, I've been dreaming about this for so many years.

"My feelings on this last hole, I almost felt dizzy and I almost felt I wanted to throw up."

Rodrigues and Italy's Guido Migliozzi shared second place on eight under ahead of Scotland's Ewen Ferguson, Netherlands' Darius van Driel and Dane Jacob Skov Olesen.

"I was in the lead after the first round and I just felt like... I don't know how to describe this, but it's been mentally very tough pretty much the whole week. So it's very nice to pull it off," added Lindberg.

"The weather on the front nine was actually a lot better than I expected, so I felt like I took advantage of that a little bit. It's been a very tough last few holes but the last one was definitely tough."

Portugal's Ricardo Gouveia tied with Italy's second-round leader Gregorio De Leo for seventh on six under.

Ugo Coussaud, the third member of the final group with Lindberg and Rodrigues, finished on five under alongside JC Ritchie, Kota Kaneko and Englishman Marcus Armitage.
