Mikko Ilonen has claimed his first European Tour title in six years with success at the Nordea Masters in Stockholm on Sunday.

The 33-year-old, who impressed in the second and third rounds, hit four birdies to finish with a score of 69, a 21-under par total.

"I slept brilliant. I was pretty tired after yesterday. Yesterday was the toughest day of them all I think," he told Sky Sports News.

"I have my family here with me. My boy's gone to sleep about 8.30pm and I went off about 9pm, so I slept pretty good all the way through to about 6.30am.

"I could feel a lot of support from Finland, especially today. Playing with Alex (Sweden's Alexander Noren) in the last group in front of the local fans, it feels pretty special."

His last win came in the 2007 Scandinavian Open.
