According to the 2006 Travel Industry Association (TIA) survey, visiting small towns and rural areas is the third most popular summer activity following visiting friends and relatives and going to the beach or lake.

"I was playing well on Thursday and Friday and made a lot of birdies," said Edfors. "I thought if I can make nine birdies on Thursday, I can make nine birdies on Sunday. I thought if I shot nine-under, it should be good enough."

Edfors claimed his maiden European Tour title earlier this season at the TCL Classic, then followed with win No. 2 at the British Masters at the Belfry. He is now the first three-time winner on the European Tour this season.

When Benn Barham missed a 10-foot birdie putt on the 72nd hole, Romero came in one ahead and had the best finish of any player this week who was not exempt for next week's British Open. That got him an invitation to Royal Liverpool in Hoylake.

Sunday's final round was expected to be a battle between the third-round co- leaders, Darren Clarke and Thomas Bjorn. The pair, both Ryder Cuppers and two of the European Tour's best, struggled mightily in the final round.

Edfors flew out of the gate on Sunday with a birdie at the second, then four in a row from the fourth. That got him to 10-under par and put him one behind the leaders for the final pairing even took the course.

Edfors matched Clarke quickly. Edfors drained an eight-foot birdie putt at the 12th, then followed with a tap-in birdie at the par-five 13th. When Clarke bogeyed the fourth, Edfors was one ahead.

Playing several groups ahead of the final group, Edfors found trouble at the par-three 17th. He landed in a right greenside bunker, than blasted out to 12 feet, Edfors missed the par putt, but parred 18 to get into the clubhouse at minus-13.

He waited for the final group and they did their part to give Edfors the title. Bjorn missed the fairway badly at nine, then sent his second over the green in an unplayable lie. Bjorn hit his fourth 40 feet past the hole, but poured in the long bogey putt. Clarke made bogey at the same hole to fall two back while Bjorn was one off the lead.

•    @ryanjz I'm a pretty decent environmentalist, but I think growing up in a rural community means that I have a different perspective.
