Not even a late charge from host Sergio Garcia could stop Andrew Johnston, who carded a one-under 70 in Sunday's final round to take the 2016 Open De Espana.
Opening the day in a bit of a hole after back-to-back rounds of 74, Johnston overcame a bogey on his first hole to play the rest of the day two under. He had three birdies against two bogeys to finish the tournament at one over. The 27-year-old London native finished one stroke ahead of Joost Luiten and two ahead of Garcia for his first European Tour victory.
