Scotland 's Richie Ramsay recovered from seeing a three-shot lead disappear in the space of two holes to win the Hassan Trophy after a rollercoaster final round on Sunday . Ramsay made a blistering start at Golf du Palais Royal , carding four birdies in a row from the third to move into pole position in pursuit of his third European Tour title . The 31-year-old from Aberdeen then three-putted the seventh and ran up a triple-bogey six on the eighth , where he came up short of the green off the tee and saw his first two chips fail to negotiate a steep slope and roll back to his feet .

That left Ramsay two shots off the lead but he battled back superbly with a hat-trick of birdies from the 12th to reclaim the lead on his way to a closing 69 to finish 10 under par , one ahead of France 's Romain Wattel . Wattel chipped in for par on the 15th after duffing his fourth shot just a few feet and birdied the 17th to get within one of Ramsay , but was unable to chip in for another birdie on the 18th to force a play-off . Six players shared third place on eight under , including South African George Coetzee , who had needed to win to move into the world 's top 50 and qualify for the Masters . England 's Tommy Fleetwood could also have secured a trip to Augusta with victory , but finished joint 17th after a closing 69 . An emotional Ramsay , who had missed the cut in four of his five events this season and withdrew from the other after three rounds due to illness , dedicated the win to his wife Angela and brother Robin .

'My brother has supported me since I was so young . This one 's for him and Angela . I know they are all back home and probably going crazy at the moment . ' I 've gone through some tough times with injury but kept believing and they were at my back and said just go out there and play golf and that 's what I did today . It was so much fun out there . ' Asked about his triple bogey on the eighth , the former US amateur champion added : ' I just did n't execute the shot exactly as I wanted to . Hit a poor chip , rolled back into a divot , did n't come out , hit it back on , two putts , easy six . It 's one of those courses that has so many holes like that . ' I knew I was still in the mix and walking down nine I was still level par for my round and I knew the back nine was very scoreable . I made great putts on nine and 10 just to keep the momentum going and then I stood over a putt on the 12th and felt my putter feels absolutely great . ' I said to myself just got for it , this is your time and pretty much took it by the scruff of the neck the next two holes . '
Richie Ramsay was delighted to win trophy after tough campaign . The Scotsman had missed the cut in four of his five events this season . He had to withdraw from the other event through illness .
