Bradley Dredge romped to an eight-shot victory in the European Masters in Switzerland on Sunday.

The Welshman shot a final round of 67 for a 17-under-par total of 267 to claim his second European Tour title.

Marcel Siem and Francesco Molinari shared second place on nine under after rounds of 69 and 73 respectively.

Defending champion Sergio Garcia finished with a 71 to share fourth place with Soren Kjeldsen and Scotland's Marc Warren on eight under.

Dredge had finished second three times and recorded 16 top-10 finishes since his maiden tour victory at the Madeira Island Open in 2003.

He started the final round with three birdies in a row - the second consecutive round he had achieved the feat - and then cruised to victory, his only blemish a bogey on the 16th.

"It feels really good," said the 33-year-old, who will partner Stephen Dodd as Wales defend their World Cup title in Barbados in December.

"I got off to a great start but I knew I had a lot of people chasing me so I tried to stay aggressive.

"Since the French Open this year (when he was third at halfway but faded to 17th) I decided to fire at all the flags, within reason.

"I watch all the top players like Tiger Woods, Ernie Els and Vijay Singh and they all seem to be aggressive when they can be.

"It was getting very frustrating, getting into position and not finishing off events.
