Former Ryder Cup player Nicolas Colsaerts has won his first name since 2012.
Despite carding a one-over-par 72 in the final round at Le Golf National, the Belgian ended one shot ahead of Denmarks Joachim B. Hansen.
Colsaerts began to Dubai on the Race of the European Tour and at risk of losing card.
Ive been coming here for I do not know how many decades, its been a very long road, he told Sky Sports.
So lots of people have supported me over time, thats why I get so emotional. I went through ups and downs for so many decades
Recent years for Colsaerts happen to be a far cry from 2012 if he was selected as a wildcard by captain Jose Maria Olazabal to participate in the European team that pulled off theMiracle of Medinah when they arrived from 10-4 down to defeat the USA 14.5-13.5.
Now ranked 424th in the planet, rounds of 67, 66, and 67 had given him a three-stroke lead heading into the last round, however there was plenty of play ahead.
Before he chipped in for an eagle three at the 14th to return in front of Hansen his benefit had gone.
However he shot to run a six up as the Dane was passed the guide.
Nevertheless Hansen faltered in the 17th with a bogey of his own, letting Colsaerts to hang for his third European Tour title and first.
England impressed over Australia in their triumph, but face the evaluation of holders New Zealand to get a spot at the World Cup closing.
