Maiden Tour win for Spaniard

Little-known Spanish golfer Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano claimed his maiden European Tour title in only his 16th event as a professional when he won the KLM Open by two shots from England’s Gary Emerson.

The 24-year-old from Madrid, ranked 421st in the world, began the day a shot behind Emerson but after bogeying the first produced a stunning front nine of 31 to be three ahead by the turn and closed with a 67 to claim the €251,000 first prize.
