Mikko Ilonen wraps up 3-stroke Nordea Masters victory

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, June 2 (UPI) -- Third-round leader Mikko Ilonen finished up an impressive performance at the Nordea Masters Sunday, carding a 3-under 69 to post a three-stroke victory.

The 33-year-old Finn secured his second career Stockholm title at No. 13, when closest pursuer Jonas Blixt faltered to a double-bogey while Ilonen chipped to five feet and then sank a birdie putt for a four-shot lead.
