Roope Kakko Wins Madeira Islands Open by 3 Strokes
SANTO DA SERRA, Madeira Islands — Roope Kakko earned his first European Tour victory Sunday after shooting a flawless 9-under 63 to win the Madeira Islands Open by three strokes.
The 33-year-old Finn made an eagle on the par-4 10th to go with seven birdies for a tournament-record 24-under total of 264. Scott Henry of Scotland was runner-up for the second year in a row after a 66, having lost a playoff to England's Daniel Brooks last year.
Andrew McArthur of Scotland was another three strokes back in third.
Kakko is only the second Finnish player to win on the European Tour, following Mikko Ilonen.
