Schwartzel eases to three-shot win in Madrid
Posted
South African Charl Schwartzel has clinched his third European Tour title, winning the inaugural Madrid Masters by three strokes from Argentina's Ricardo Gonzalez.
The 24-year-old winner claimed his second victory in Madrid as he closed with a blemish-free 5-under 66 for a 19-under 265 four-round total.
Schwartzel, whose previous Madrid win came last year at the Spanish Open, went into the final round a stroke ahead of Gonzalez and never let the burly Argentine get on terms.
Andrew Tampion was the best-placed Australian in a tie for 13th place at 8-under.
