Nacho Elvira was very inconsistent all day long and carded five birdies and five bogey on his way to a final round 71. The Spaniard birdied the 17th and had a one-shot lead with one hole to go. However he didn’t use this advantage and bogeyed the par five 18th after he needed three putts on the green. This is Elvira’s first European Tour win and it comes in his 195th start.

Mikko Korhonen posted one of the best rounds today as he played the course at five under par. At some point he was in share of the lead, but made a bogey on the par three 17th and as a result dropped to 15 under par and finished solo third.
