VYSOKY UJEZD, Czech Republic (AP) Haydn Porteous shot a 3-under 69 Sunday to win the Czech Masters by two strokes for his second European Tour title.
Starting two shots behind overnight leader Lee Slattery, the 23-year-old South African birdied six holes in the final round – together with three bogeys – to close at 13-under 275 at the Albatross Golf Resort near Prague.
”To get my second European Tour win under the belt just feels amazing,” Porteous said.
Porteous won the Joburg Open last year but was struggling since. Last week’s top 10 finish at the Made In Denmark event was his first of the season.
”It’s been a really torrid time through the last eight, nine months and I’ve really started doing the right things and slowly but surely the golf has got a little bit better,” Porteous said.

Becker/Getty Images)Howard University taking on UNLV in college football's opening weekend was supposed to be such a lopsided match-up that Vegas sportsbooks didn't even offer a money line. But it turned out, the Bison had the best player on the field on Saturday night — and his last name should be one football fans recognize.
Caylin Newton, the younger brother of Carolina Panthers superstar and 2015 NFL MVP Cam Newton, accounted for 330 yards of total offense (190 rushing and 140 passing) and three touchdowns as Howard won 45-40 to pull off arguably the biggest upset in college football history.
