Richie Ramsay of Scotland captured the biggest title of his professional career Sunday, shooting a 5-under 66 to win the European Masters by 4 strokes.

He was never challenged after the turn and finished on 16-under 267. Four players were tied for second place.

Ramsay earned 350,000 euros ($440,000) prize money for his second European Tour victory, following the South African Open title in 2009.
