LUMBRES, France (Reuters) - David Dixon secured his maiden European Tour title after producing a faultless closing five-under 66 to win the St Omer Open by one shot on Sunday.

The Briton, who started his week with a 77, was four strokes behind Sweden's Christian Nilsson overnight but surged past the long time front-runner with a five-under-par 279 total. Nilsson closed with a 71 to finish a stroke behind.
