England's Simon Dyson captured a third KLM Open in six years in the Netherlands today, and this one took him into the world's top 30 for the first time in his career.

The 33-year-old from York, a Walker Cup team-mate of Luke Donald and Paul Casey in 1999, birdied four of the last seven holes to beat compatriot David Lynn, champion himself in 2004, by one shot.

Irish golfer Rory McIlroy finished third, good enough to take him back to third in the world rankings, while number two Lee Westwood's closing 66 lifted him from 18th to fifth.

Dyson's victory was also his second in seven weeks. He took the Irish Open at the end of July.
