Charl Schwartzel sealed a fine victory in the Madrid Masters after producing a bogey free final round of 66 at Club de Campo Villa de Madrid for a 19 under par total of 199.
The South African finished three shots clear of Ricardo Gonzalez after a five under par round in Spain clinched his third European Tour title.
Having started the day 14 under, the South African picked up shots at both par fives on the front nine, the fourth and the seventh.
Schwartzel posted consecutive birdies at the 13th and 14th and when he picked up another shot at the 17th it spelled the end for those trying to overhaul him at the top of the leaderboard.
Schwartzel had admitted to feeling ill during the week and struggled with a shoulder problem during the second round but he said he felt better after lifting the title.
"I played very well again today," said the 24 year old. "I woke up this morning and felt a lot better than I have been feeling.
