Yet another Englishman, this time Andrew Johnson, the man they affectionately call the Beef has just won the Spanish Open with rounds of 67 74 74 70 +1 for his first European Tour win.

Two of his fellow countrymen. Ross Fisher (72) and James Morrison (74) T4. All this the week after Danny Willett from Sheffield made history by winning the Masters.

Host Sergio Garcia closed with -4 67, +3 total to finish 3rd behind Dutchman Joost Luiten (71) +2.

Johnston become the first man to win a European Tour event with an over par score since Justin Rose won the US Open at Merion in 2013.

It had been 20 years since a regular event had been won over par, with Ian Woosnam shooting the same score to win the Scottish Open at Carnoustie in 1996, showing just how difficult a test Valderrama had been over the four days.
