Niclas Fasth wins BMW International in styleNiclas Fasth, the leading European player in fourth place in 2007 US Open, kept his form and his head to win the BMW International on Sunday after the local hero Bernhard Langer had threatened to steal the show.

The steely German, who will turn 50 in August, saw his chance to pounce when the 35-year-old Swede, who was three clear at the turn, had a double-bogey six at the 10th and his lead was cut to one stroke.

Bernhard Langer's hopes soared when he coaxed in a 25-foot putt, his third of the round from that distance, for birdie on the 17th but he faltered on the last with a par five after a woeful second shot.

Niclas Fasth smapped up a two of his own on the 17th to finish on 70 for total of 275, 13 below par, that left him two shots clear of Langer and Portugal's José-Filipe Lima for his sixth European Tour win.

Fasth said he had not looked at the leader board until the 15th, when he discovered Langer was only one behind. "It sharpened me up and I holed three long putts in a row," he said. "But I am playing the best golf of my life right now."

Langer, who had almost pulled out of the event in the first round with a neck injury, said: "I thought about it several times between the 7th and 13th holes as the pain grew worse but I called a physio out on to the course and the treatment he gave me eased it, so I carried on. I didn't feel it the last three days."
