Thomas Bjorn wins in Mauritius, James Kingston tops Legends Tour merit list - BBC Sport

"I took advantage of the par fves and once I got in front I was able to play sensibly and not give the others a feeling they could catch me.

"That was Oliver's frst time on the bag for me so he is one-for-one; I've told him he needs to do another week when I don't do so well so he sees what I am really like."

Miguel Angel Martin played with Bjorn in the fnal group but while the former Ryder Cup player made no bogeys in his fve-under fnal round, the Spaniard dropped four shots in nine holes in the middle of his to fall away.

Martin's 72 lef him in a share of sixth on 11 under with Englishmen Paul Eales and Phil Archer as well as New Zealander Michael Long.

Swedish pair Joakim Haeggman - last week's winner at Constance Lemuria in the Seychelles - and his fellow former Ryder Cup player Jarmo Sandelin were in the group behind but failed to mount a challenge as they shot 72 and 77 respectively.

The charismatic Sandelin accidentally snapped his driver on the 18th tee on Saturday and used a new one only twice in his fnal round, making double bogey on both occasions.

He fnished in a tie for 16th with former Ryder Cup captain Paul McGinley while two former major champions, Tom Lehman and Michael Campbell, were in a share for 37th.

Amateurs play alongside the professionals throughout the week on the Legends Tour and former England Test batter Nick Compton, grandson of cricket legend Denis, claimed several prizes at Constance Belle Mare Plage
