Jorge Campillo, with 15 under par, finished in third place, with German Martin Kaymer (-17), second to two behind the Nordic after a superb Sunday with 10 birdies and 64 strokes.
Of all countries with relevant population in western Europe, only Norway was left to enter its name among the winners. He made it his most exciting player, who last year already added twice to the PGA Tour, by beating Puerto Rico and Mayakoba.

Campillo got excited about the possibility of winning when in the absence of six holes he placed one of the young European star. However, in the moment of truth, not only did he not follow Hovland’s final arreon but he made two bogeys and stayed in third position, which is his best since the second tournament in Cyprus.
