Swedens Alex Noren gave himself the perfect early birthday present by holding his nerve to claim a fifth European Tour title in the Scottish Open.Noren, who turns 34 on Tuesday, carded a closing 70 at Castle Stuart to finish 14 under par and a shot ahead of Englands Tyrrell Hatton, who birdied the last to complete a 69 and secure second place.Belgiums Nicolas Colsaerts, Italys Matteo Manassero and New Zealands Danny Lee shared third on 12 under, with Scotlands Richie Ramsay and Englands Andy Sullivan a shot further back.Hatton, Colsaerts, Manassero and Ramsay also secured the four qualifying places on offer in next weeks Open Championship for players not otherwise exempt who finished inside the top 12.Noren, who won the Nordea Masters in his native Sweden in 2011 and 2015, said: This is by far the biggest win. The amount of players that are here, and on a course like this in Scotland, its only what I dreamt of growing up.Now Im just so happy its over because it was a tough, tough leaderboard. There were a lot of guys at 11, 12, 13 under and it was just not a cruising win at all. Thinking about it this morning, how much it would mean, it feels like miles away. And now when it happens, it just feels unbelievable.After extending his two-shot overnight lead with a birdie on the second, Noren failed to make the most of several other good opportunities before just his fourth bogey of the week on the eighth allowed Lee to draw level thanks to his third birdie of the day on the 10th.An eagle followed by three birdies in succession had lifted Colsaerts to within a shot of the lead alongside Hatton and Manassero, but Noren edged back in front with a two-putt birdie from long range on the par-five 12th and produced a superb approach on the 15th to set up another, which proved to be decisive.Hatton, who had struggled to a closing 75 when in the final group in the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth in May, said: Im really happy with that result. Part of me is slightly disappointed in a way, finishing one short. But I played well. I tried to stay as patient as I can and I find that one of the difficult aspects. But Im just quite happy I guess.A spot in the Open next week, as well as securing the US PGA Championship in a few weeks time, as well. Overall, its been a really good week.Manasseros share of third place represented a welcome return to form for the 23-year-old, who won four times on the European Tour by the age of 20 but had slumped to 596th before the start of the week after changing his technique to try to add distance to his game.Im really happy of course, to play well in such a big event for me, Manassero said. Right now its a great relief from a lot of things and Im glad that I handled myself really well in this week, which was not easy at all.Its a while since Ive been in this position and Im very happy. All these struggles and hard work and stuff are obviously paying off and hopefully next time Ill be holding a trophy.Ramsay was delighted to secure his sixth appearance in the Open and a first for baby daughter Olivia, who was born in February.Its huge, Ramsay said after a closing 67.Ive played it a few times before and I dont think Ive done myself justice, but this time we have our little daughter to take along. I think shell enjoy her first major. Its more of a treat for her.The great thing was I played to win today, which is a great feeling when youre in that position in front of a home crowd on a great golf course.Authentic Soccer Jerseys . -- Whether Jeremy Hill deserves a prominent role in LSUs offence this early in the season is a matter for debate.
