Tommy Fleetwood fired a bogey-free 66 to claim a one-shot victory at the Open de France.
The Englishman struck five birdies in a flawless display at Le Golf National to finish one clear of Peter Uihlein and move top of the Race of Dubai standings.
Mike Lorenzo-Vera and Alexander Bjork both secured qualification for The Open by joining Thorbjorn Olesen in a share of third, with Ryan Fox a further shot back at six under.
Beginning the day one back from Uihlein, Fleetwood almost aced his tee shot at the second and added a two-putt gain at the next before birdieing the ninth to reach the turn in 33.
Uihlein bogeyed two of his first five holes but bounced back by birdieing the next, while Bjork picked up a shot at the fifth and chipped in at the seventh to briefly grab a share of the lead.
Fleetwood took a one-shot lead in to the back nine and extending his lead with back-to-back gains from the 13th, as Bjork slipped out of contention with a blemish at the 12th and penultimate-hole bogey.
Three birdies in a four-hole stretch from the 11th by Uihlein was followed by a gain at the 17th to keep the pressure on Fleetwood, who close his round with a run of pars to set the target at 12 under.
Needing a final-hole birdie to force a play-off, Uihlein found the bunker with his approach in to the par-four and couldn't pitch in from the sand as he closed with a par.
A consolation for Uihlein was that a runner-up finish secured him a place in the field for next month's Open at Royal Birkdale, with three places available for those inside the top-10 and not already exempt.
Bjork secured his spot with a closing gain and Lorenzo-Vera birdied five of his final 10 holes to secure his place, while Olesen posted a round-of-the-day 65 to post his best finish of 2017.
Ross Fisher, Adrian Otaegui and Haotong Li ended in a share of seventh spot, with Lee Westwood joining Thomas Pieters and Jon Rahm a further shot back after making a hole-out eagle in his closing 70.
