Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
LOCH LOMOND, Scotland, July 11 (UPI) -- Thomas Levet came up with the round of his life Sunday to win the Scottish Open and grab a place in this week's British Open.
Seven strokes off the pace with 18 holes to go, the 35-year-old from Paris came within a stroke of the Loch Lomond course record with an 8-under-par 63 to edge Michael Campbell of New Zealand by one stroke.
"It's just unreal. I so desperately wanted to play the Open. More than anyone," Levet said. "When you play like this it is a dream come true. Every shot I was trying to play was coming off and even the bad ones didn't finish too badly."
Levet, who won for the first time since the 2001 British Masters, had three birdies and an eagle in a four-hole span from 11 through 14 and had to wait to see if his 15-under-par 269 was good enough.
