Provence, France (SportsNetwork.com) – Philip Golding shot a final-round, 2- under 70 on Sunday and he ran away with a 4-shot victory at the French Riviera Masters.

Golding, who has now won twice on the European Senior Tour, finished the week at 15-under-par 201 at Terre Blanche Hotel Spa Golf Resort.

Already in the lead after three rounds, Golding did not get off to an ideal start as he bogeyed the first hole and finished off the front nine with eight straight pars.

Golding spread the gap on the back nine, however, as he made his first birdie on the par-5 11th. After another par on 12, Golding drained back-to-back birdies on 13 and 14. He closed things out with four straight pars to claim a 4-shot win.

Cesar Monasterio was the closest finisher to Golding as he finished at 11- under 205 after a final-round 70. Peter Fowler (67), Barry Lane (68) and John Gould (69) all ended tied for third at 10-under 206.
