NAKHABINO, Russia - Mikael Lundberg won his second Russian Open title with birdies on two of the last three holes for a 68 Sunday and a two-stroke victory over Jose Manuel Lara.

The Swede finished at 21-under 267.

Lundberg also won the tournament in 2005 - his first European Tour title - on the fourth hole of a playoff.

Lara, a Spaniard, shot 64 and Benn Barham (68) of England was one stroke down for third.

The Russian Open became a full-fledged European Tour event in 2006 and doubled its prize money to $2 million last season.
