Golf - Belgian Pieters wins in Denmark

After a four-hour weather delay, the in-form 24-year-old finished on 17 under par, one shot ahead of Briton Bradley Dredge, to secure his third European Tour title in the last year.

Pieters, fourth in the Olympics and runner-up in the Czech Masters last week, is hoping to be named as a wildcard in European captain Darren Clarke's team to play the United States in the Ryder Cup in Minnesota starting on Sept. 30.

"He's got plenty of good players to pick from so if he doesn't pick me, so be it," Pieters told reporters.

"I'll work my butt off to get there for the next one. But I've done all I can now and I'm just really pleased with this win."

Northern Irishman Clarke will announce his three wildcard selections on Tuesday.
