May 18, 2015 – James Morrison (Callaway Golf) produced a brilliant final round display to claim a comprehensive four shot victory at the 2015 Spanish Open.

The 30 year old Englishman, whose previous European Tour title came in Madeira five years ago, had shared the lead with compatriot David Howell (Adams Golf) at the start of the day after a third round 68 in fast and windy conditions at Real Club de Golf El Prat. With the breeze up again in the final round, Morrison’s flawless closing 69 blew the field away as he led throughout.

After trading four consecutive pars with Howell at the start of the day, Morrison chipped in from behind the green for birdie at the fifth. Another gain from 12 feet at the ninth extended his advantage, and although the likes of Howell, Francesco Molinari (Nike Golf) and defending champion Miguel Angel Jiménez (Ping) all threatened to put him under pressure, a run of eight straight pars on the back nine saw Morrison reach the 18th with a three shot lead.

He finished in style with a birdie from ten feet to earn the biggest prize of his career and €250,000, with victory taking him from 296th in the Official World Golf Ranking to just outside the top 160 and completing a return to form after he had to regain his card at Qualifying School in 2013.
