MUNICH — English golfer Daniel Brown captured his second European tour title by winning the BMW International Open by two strokes on Sunday after shooting a bogey-free 6-under 66 in the final round.

The No. 170-ranked Brown started the day with a one-shot lead over countryman Jordan Smith, birdied four of his first six holes, and picked up two more birdies coming in.
