Pineau ends 4-year wait with commanding Hilton Classic triumph in Morocco

TANGIER: France’s Pierre Pineau ended a four-year wait for a second professional victory with a brilliant final-round 67 to claim the Hilton Classic title at Al-Houara Golf Club in Tangier on Wednesday, finishing on 10-under par to win by two shots from compatriot Andoni Etchenique. Pineau, who started from the first tee in calmer conditions than the tournament had seen all week, made six birdies against a single bogey to pull clear of the field and claim the $18,000 first prize.
