Swedish golfer backed at [130.0] as he chooses the right time to land maiden victory

"Noren has been tipped for maiden success for a few years and may now kick on into the higher echelons of the game. The European Masters is the first tournament to offer qualifying points for the Ryder Cup."

Alexander Noren finally landed his first European Tour victory today - rewarding his in-running backers who took a high price of [130.0] on Betfair to win the Omega European Masters.

Welshman Bradley Dredge chased the Swedish golfer home all day and traded at a low of evens when pulling alongside his opponent on the 13th.

However, Noren kept his nerve, making birdie on the 14th and holing a bunker shot for an eagle on the 15th to edge clear.

Two likely components of the 2010 team to face the USA - Miguel Angel Jimenez and Rory McIlroy - finished fourth and seventh respectively.
