LONDON: Ross Fisher of England completed a wire-to-wire victory in the European Open at the London Club on Sunday.
The 27-year-old, who shot a course record 63 in the first round, led for all four rounds of the tournament and finished on a 20 under par total of 268, seven shots ahead of second-placed Sergio Garcia of Spain.
All four of Fisher's rounds were under 70 and he finished in style on a wet and windy final day by chipping in from a greenside bunker on the 18th for a round of 68.
It rounded off a superb week for Fisher which started with him qualifying for the British Open at Royal Birkdale later this month.
After booking his place in the Major, Fisher was initially uncertain over whether he would play in the European Open, even though he lives not far from the course in Ash, Kent, south-east England.
"It was pretty awesome," Fisher told Sky Sports. "It was just a great week."
Garcia's 66 was the best score of the fourth round and saw him finish runner-up, one stroke ahead of Northern Ireland's Graeme McDowell who had been in second place overnight.
