Adrian Otaegui secured a six-shot victory at the 2022 Estrella Damm N.A. Andalucía Masters to claim his fourth DP World Tour title Results
The Spaniard went into the final round with a six-stroke cushion and never gave the chasing pack an opportunity to catch him, firing four birdies and a single bogey in a closing 68 at Real Club Valderrama to finish on 19 under par, setting a new tournament record.
Joakim Lagergren finished alone in second after posting a final-round 68 to climb up the DP World Tour Rankings in Partnership with Rolex.
The Swede began the week 127th in the standings but moves into the top 50 following an impressive performance in Sotogrande.
Australia's Min Woo Lee was three shots further back in solo third, two ahead of local boy Angel Hidalgo, whose fourth-placed finish moved him to 88th on the DP World Tour Rankings in Partnership with Rolex.
Otaegui was delighted to earn his first win at Valderrama, a course he holds in high regard.
He said: "I'm very, very proud. I feel so happy to have my first win in Spain, in front of these crowds, on my favourite golf course in Spain.
"It's just unbelievable. I'm very, very happy with everything, the week went perfect.
"I'm very happy with the way I managed today because it was my first time with such a big shot difference.
"The plan was just to start strong, forget the shot difference I had and try to beat the others today.
"I played very well until the end. I tried to follow the plan and think I did well."
