Nacho Elvira holds on to win Soudal Open in Belgium for second European tour title

Spanish golfer Nacho Elvira parred his final seven holes to hold on for a one-stroke victory at the Soudal Open in Belgium on Sunday and clinch his second title on the European tour.

Elvira started the final round with a four-shot lead, closed with an even-par 71 and was almost reeled in by Denmark's Nicolas Norgaard, who had a birdie putt from about 12 feet at No. 18 to force a playoff.

Norgaard missed it right and had to settle for a 68 and a tie for second place with home favorite Thomas Pieters (66) and Romain Langasque, who birdied the last for a 68.

Elvira's other win came at the Cazoo Open in Wales in 2021 and he was in tears after securing the title at Rinkven International Golf Club, where the final round had to be suspended midway through because of heavy rain that flooded the greens.
