(Reuters) - England's Matthew Fitzpatrick boosted his Ryder Cup qualifying hopes with a three-shot victory at the Nordea Masters in Stockholm on Sunday.

The 21-year-old had led by five shots overnight but dropped to two in front around the turn on the final day before he closed out with a one-under par 71 to finish on 16-under and become the youngest winner of the event.

Denmark's Lasse Jensen carded a 68 to finish runner-up on 13-under for his best result on the European Tour.
