Spain Reigns Again.

Spaniard Pablo Larrazabal claimed his maiden PGA Tour title on Sunday with a surprise victory at the French Open in Paris. The 25 year old shot a final round 67 to finish on 15 under, four strokes ahead of Colin Montgomerie. "I don't know how it feels- it's fantastic" he said. "I really played great golf and my putter was great all week". Ranked 481 in the world prior to the tournament, Larrazabal began his final round with three birdies in his first five holes. His double bogey on nine though put Montgomerie to within to of the lead, but birdies on 15 and 18 at Le Golf National settled proceedings, with Larrazabal picking up a cheque for 527,800 pounds, and qualification for The Open at Birkdale later this month. Lee Westwood continued his good form by finishing on 7 under par, with fellow Brit Oliver Fisher finishing on 5 under, alongside Irishman Paul McGinley.
  'The old super glue trick had finally reached France.'
