It wasn't pretty but he'll take it..
England's Robert Rock 67 -21, has finally won his first European Tour title after 9 years on his 209th attempt..
Fighting nerves, the man without a hat sponsor fought a quickening swing and escaped from the woods on 16 and 17, made several clutch putts to win by a shot over the young Dane Thorbjorn Olesen 62, -20 and England's Gary Boyd 66 -20. He now has a flight to catch to Washington for next week's US Open
Crowd favourites Matteo Manessero 68 -16, and Francesco Molinari 70 -16 fell short, at T8..
