Jonzon keeps card with Spain win

FINAL LEADERBOARD
-20 M Jonzon (Swe) -19 M Kaymer (Ger), C Nilsson (Swe) -17 S Garcia (Spa) Selected others: -14 D Clarke (NI), A Coltart (Sco), S Hutsby (Eng) -13 J Donaldson (Wal), C Montgomerie (Sco)

Michael Jonzon made an 18-foot birdie putt at the last to snatch his second tour victory in 290 starts at the Castello Masters in Spain.

Playing in the same group, Germany's Martin Kaymer missed a putt which would have forced a play-off with the Swede.

Jonzon finished 20 under par following a four-under 67 on Sunday, and the win ensures he keeps his tour card.

Kaymer tied for second on 19 under with Sweden's Christian Nilsson, and Sergio Garcia was two shots further back.

England's Sam Hutsby, playing in only his third professional tour event at the age of 20, produced an even-par 71 to finish tied for eighth place.

"It's been desperate for me and I am kind of speechless at the moment"

Hutsby was joined on 14 under for the tournament by Northern Ireland's Darren Clarke, Scotsman Andrew Coltart and Swede Peter Hanson.

Clarke produced a final round of 65 to move up the leaderboard, and Colin Montgomerie's three-under 68 kept the Scot in a tie for 12th alongside Welshman Jamie Donaldson.

"It's been desperate for me and I am kind of speechless at the moment. It's unbelievable," said Jonzon, 37, whose only previous win came in the 1997 Portuguese Open.

The first prize of £307,000 is more than four times his previous biggest cheque, in a career that spans 16 years and includes eight trips to qualifying school.

"It's going to take time to let this sink in, I guess," he added.

Jonzon, heading into the final day ranked 482nd in the world and with a single-shot lead, looked in control for much of the day.

But a double bogey on the 15th followed by a bogey on the 17th allowed Kaymer and Nilsson to draw level on 19 under.

Jonzon's birdie on the final hole sealed victory as Kaymer and Nilsson could only par.

606: DEBATE

" Best European player not to have played in a Ryder Cup? Martin Kaymer "

Failure to win the tournament means Kaymer will not reclaim top spot in the European Tour money list.

Rory McIlroy and current leader Lee Westwood went past Kaymer in the "Race to Dubai" standings during the latter's nine-week lay-off after an injury picked up while go-karting.

The 24-year-old broke several toes in the incident, following the USPGA Championship earlier this year, and walked the Spanish course with a limp throughout this week's tournament.
