World Golf Results

In Europe, Germany's Marcel Siem was victorious at the French Open, beating Italy's Francesco Molinari by a single stroke to win his first tournament in eight years.

As the final round unfolded at Le Golf National in the Versailles region of France on Sunday, Siem carded a 67 to edge out his Italian rival and claim victory despite being ranked 120th in the world. For his part, Molinari erased an eight-stroke deficit going into the final round and carded an impressive 9 birdies on Sunday, just missing the opportunity to win when Siem picked up the pace on the back nine.

This is Siem's first victory in eight years on European Tour, his last win having taken place at the 2004 Dunhill Championship in South Africa. As the talented 31-year-old German celebrates his victory he will be keen to remain on top form as the 2012 season progresses, and may yet become a household name in European golf.

The LPGA travelled to Kohler, Wisconsin last week where the US Women's Open was won by Choi Na-yeon of South Korea.

Having started the final round with an impressive six-stroke lead over her closest competitors, Choi held her nerve on Sunday despite a triple-bogey on the tenth hole which cut her lead down significantly. As the back nine unfolded, Choi regained her composure and managed a series of pars to prevent any challenges for the trophy from materialising.

As the final round came to a close in sunny weather, Choi birdied the 15th and 16th holes in succession to increase her lead to five strokes. A bogey at the final hole was not enough to dampen the 24 year-old's mood as she won at Blackwolf Run with a commanding four-stroke lead. Compatriot Amy Yang finished in second place, with Germany's Sandra Gal coming in third.
