His winning total is the lowest ever at the Made in Denmark and he also became the youngest winner of the tournament.Its all about winning tournaments, Pieters said. That was one of my goals, to just have one every year, just so you know youre improving and you can win. Thats very important.Asked if his victory would create a headache for Ryder Cup captain Darren Clarke, he answered: I would think so.Clarke is scheduled to announce his three picks on Tuesday for Europes contest with the United States at Hazeltine from Sept. 30 to Oct. 2.He (Clarke) has got plenty of good players to pick from, so if he doesnt pick me, then so be it and Ill work my butt off to get there in the next one, Pieters said. But Ive done all I can now and Im just really pleased with this win to be honest.Pieters started the final round one shot behind the 43-year-old Dredge, who finished runner-up at Himmerland for the second time.
