SOTOGRANDE, Spain -- Patience paid off for Matt Fitzpatrick at the tough Valderrama course in Spain on Sunday.
The Englishman made 15 straight pars then rallied with two birdies on his last three holes to win the Andalucia Masters by three shots.
"Amazing, particularly the way I did it," Fitzpatrick said. "I was very patient all day, didn't try to press anything, stuck to our targets and managed to make all the putts in the end. I'm delighted with the win."
Fitzpatrick finished at 6-under 278 for the tournament after closing with a 2-under 69 at the iconic Real Club Valderrama course that hosted the 1997 Ryder Cup in southern Spain.
