VERSAILLES, France (AP) — England's Graeme Storm won his first European Tour title Sunday, capturing the French Open with a one-stroke victory over Denmark's Soren Hansen.

Storm closed with a 5-under-par 66 and finished with a total of 7-under 277. He started the day in eighth place.

Simon Kahn, Colin Montgomerie, Thomas Bjorn and Damien McGrane were two strokes back at 279. Montgomerie led with four holes left to play but had bogeys on Nos. 15 and 16.
