PARIS (Reuters) - Bernd Wiesberger recorded his first win on the European Tour since 2012 with a three-stroke victory in the French Open on Sunday amid challenging conditions.

After play at Le National was halted for an hour because of a thunderstorm, the Austrian fired a closing 65 for a 13-under par total of 271, leaving him clear of England's James Morrison who finished in second place, on 67 for the day and 274 overall.
