Colsaerts snaps seven-year victory drought at French Open
Emotional Colsaerts snaps drought on roller coaster Sunday in France
0:003:40Nicolas Colsaerts broke a seven-year victory drought on Sunday in Paris, hanging on to win the French Open by one shot with a final-round 72.
The 36-year-old Belgian entered the day with a three-shot lead at Le Golf National and carded three birdies and an eagle, but he made things interesting down the stretch when he found the water and made double bogey on the par-4 15th hole.
However, the former Ryder Cup player bounced back and closed out the tournament with three straight pars to earn his third European Tour win, and first since the 2012 Volvo World Match Play Championship.
