BELEK Turkey (Reuters) - Young American Brooks Koepka looked as cool as a cucumber as he won a battle royal with Ian Poulter to claim the first regular tour victory of his career at the $7 million Turkish Airlines Open on Sunday.

The 24-year-old's triumph also meant Rory McIlroy was confirmed as Europe's 2013-14 money-list winner ahead of next week's season-ending DP World Tour Championship in Dubai.
