( CNN ) -- Swedish golfer Richard S. Johnson claimed his second European Tour title after sinking a monster putt to avoid a playoff at his home Scandinavian Masters on Sunday . The U.S.-based 33-year-old drained a 30-foot birdie effort at the final hole to end the hopes of Argentina 's Rafa Echenique and follow up his 2002 victory in a co-sanctioned Australian event . Johnson went into the tournament without his regular caddy Lance Ten Broeck , who played in the British Senior Open instead , so his friend Anders Timmell -- a Stockholm radio DJ -- carried his bags instead . While Ten Broeck missed the cut at Carnoustie in Scotland , Johnson carded a final-round one-under-par 71 to finish on 11-under 277 at Bro Hof Slott . `` It 's one of the sweetest things I 've ever done . Just to come up the 17th and 18th is magical , '' the world No . 329 told the European Tour website . `` This is a huge tournament to win for a Swede and I 'm speechless right now . It 's epic . '' World No . 371 Echenique closed with a 69 to be one shot back , while Italy 's Edoardo Molinari claimed third place with the same score after a 20-foot closing putt lifted him above a group on 280 which included British Open champion Louis Oosthuizen . Joint first-round leader Oosthuizen tied with Australia 's Brett Rumford ( 69 ) and New Zealander Mark Brown ( 71 ) following his 73 . `` I did n't play well . I did n't drive well and it put everything under pressure . I had to push it at the end , but Richard played brilliantly , '' the South African said . `` I 'm a bit disappointed , but after last week I was hoping to make the cut and I finished fourth , so I 'm happy . '' Johnson went into the final round sharing the lead with K.J . Choi , but the veteran Korean collapsed with a 78 to finish back in 13th on 284 . Meanwhile , Germany 's Bernhard Langer claimed his first major title on the seniors circuit with a one-shot victory at the British Open on Sunday . The 52-year-old finished one shot clear of U.S. Ryder Cup captain Corey Pavin after his closing one-over 72 gave him a total of five-under 279 . Pavin , 50 , playing in his first seniors major , shot 70 as he was unable to peg back the former European Ryder Cup leader 's three-shot overnight lead . At the women 's Evian Masters event in France , world No . 4 Jiyai Shin snatched a one-shot victory with a birdie at the final hole . The 22-year-old is expected to return to the top of the rankings after her closing five-under 67 made her the first South Korean to win the tournament , which is sanctioned by both the European and LPGA Tours . She finished on 14-under 274 ahead of fellow Korean Na Yeon Choi ( 66 ) , overnight leader Morgan Pressel ( 70 ) , and another American Alexis Thompson ( 67 ) . Shin recently returned to action following an emergency appendectomy six weeks ago . At the Canadian Open in Toronto , Dean Wilson took a four-shot lead into Sunday 's final round of the PGA Tour event after shooting his third successive five-under 65 . The 40-year-old , playing on a sponsor 's exemption , will be chased by the second-placed group of Carl Pettersson , Tim Clark and Bob Estes . Sweden 's Pettersson earlier broke the tournament record with a 10-under 60 at St. George 's as he just missed out on the magical 59 mark when his final putt from 30 feet went just wide of the hole .
