MADRID, May 17 (Reuters) - England's James Morrison produced a solid final round of 69 to win the Spanish Open by four shots in windy conditions on Sunday, his second European Tour title.
The 30-year-old had shared the overnight lead with compatriot David Howell at the Real Club de Golf El Prat, near Barcelona and never looked back after chipping in from behind the green on the fifth for a birdie. He extended his advantage with a 12-foot putt on the ninth.
Despite pressure from Howell, Francesco Molinari and defending champion Miguel Angel Jimenez a run of eight straight pars took Morrison to the 18th three shots clear of the chasing field.
