England’s Matt Fitzpatrick secured his fourth title of the season with a three-shot win at the French Open in Paris.

Fitzpatrick carded a one-under-par 70 to hold off the challenge of Spain’s Angel Hidalgo at Le Golf National.

The 32-year-old has already won the Valspar Championship and RBC Heritage titles on the PGA Tour this year, as well as the Zurich Classic team event in New Orleans alongside younger brother Alex.

He led by five shots going into the final day, but a run of 12 successive pars allowed the chasing pack to cut that advantage to two.

However, crucial birdies on the 13th and 15th pushed Fitzpatrick further clear and even a bogey at the last could not deny him an 11th European Tour title.

“Delighted to get it over the line, it was definitely a battle today,” he said.

“I didn’t have my best stuff for the first 12 holes and then managed to find some of my best stuff.

“In a way I was quite lucky – I left myself in some nice spots where you can still get up and down from, but I fully took advantage of that and did really well.”

Matthieu Pavon shot the best round of the day, with a seven-under 64 ensuring he finished tied for fourth alongside French compatriot Tom Vaillant, Spain’s Eugenio Lopez-Chacarra and Norway’s Kristoffer Reitan.

Alexander Zverev beat Learner Tien on the final day of the Laver Cup to lead Team Europe to their sixth title.

US Open champion Zverev recovered from a disappointing defeat by Team World’s Alex de Minaur on day two and eased to a 7-6 (7-3) 6-3 win over Tien at London’s O2 Arena.

After Carlos Alcaraz’s heroics kept Europe in contention after that loss on day two, Flavio Cobolli and Jakub Mensik beat De Minaur and Taylor Fritz in the doubles to extend their lead before Zverev’s triumph.

Both wins took Europe’s tally to the required 13 needed to win, which meant that Alcaraz was not required to play again.

“I haven’t won a Laver Cup match in two years, so I’m happy I did it today,” said Zverev.

“Massive credit to the entire Team World. They pushed us all the way again, they were champions last year. We have a great team chemistry, it was a team effort.

“Winning as a team, there’s no better feeling in sports. We don’t have enough of it in tennis.”

The USA’s Tien, 20, was making his Team World debut and held his nerve in the first set to force a tiebreak, but world number two Zverev took control in the second and closed out the victory in one hour and 49 minutes.

Zverev has been part of all six of Team Europe’s Laver Cup wins, and has the most singles wins at the event with eight.
