SOTOGRANDE, Spain (April 1, 2017) -- Jack Davidson might be from Wales but he really likes playing golf in Spain. In the beginning of March he won the Spanish International Amateur and now he is the Euro National Cup champion.
Playing at Spain's Real Club de Golf Sotogrande, Davidson closed the week with a 1-over 73 to tally a 5-under showing and a four shot win over Robin Dawson, 1-under for the tournament.
Davidson wobbled early with a bogey on No. 1 before regaining his form with birdies on each of the next two holes to reach 7-under. Those two birdies proved crucial as they would ultimately provide Davidson with the early padding he needed.
Overall Davidson birdied four-times and bogeyed five-times during the final round.
Ireland's Robin Dawson, who began the day three behind, made an early move with an eagle on the par-5 2nd to reach 5-under and pull within one shot but five bogeys and just two bogeys the rest of the way derailed his chances.
Nicolas Schellong of the Czech Republic finished third at 6-over, Oliver Guillberg of Sweden was fourth at 8-over while two others shared fifth at 10-over.
MEN'S TEAM
The team from Wales completed a solid group effort in the team competition finishing 13-over and the winners by 11 shots.
