Van de Velde holds on for a win.
http://www.thegolfchannel.com/news/euro/18857.html?
Despite a double bogey on the final hole of the Madeira Island Open, Jean Van de Velde held on to win his first event in 13 years. I wonder if he had some "oh no, not again" thoughts snuck into his head as he had his issues on 18?

Hard to get excited about a bumbling victory over a less-than-Nationwide TOUR-quality field. I know....a win's a win.

That's true droogy, although after Jean's well publicized troubles on the final holes of events, I'd still have to say he's happy with the victory.

I'm happy for the guy. Ever since the British Open that he lost, I've kind of felt sorry for him despite the fact that he brought that one on himself.

One noteworthy point in this tournament was the second place finish of
Lee Slattery . This guy is another very good European young gun who`s had alot of health problems he`s now hopefully put behind him
. He won the 2004 Challenge Tour, and is definitely one to watch
