Campillo, a Winner at Last in Morocco

---

Jorge Campillo ended an eight-year wait for his first European Tour title as he triumphed at the Trophée Hassan II by two strokes.

The Spaniard, playing his 229^th event, had previously been a runner-up on six occasions, including two second-place finishes in consecutive weeks last month, but held his nerve on the formidable Red Course at Royal Golf Dar Es Salam to claim the coveted bejewelled dagger.

The 32-year-old, who earned his European Tour card in 2011 after graduating from the European Challenge Tour, started the final round one stroke behind South African Erik van Rooyen, who was also chasing a first win on the European Tour.

Campillo fell off the pace with two bogeys on his first three holes but pulled one back with a birdie on the eighth hole. He then moved back up the leaderboard with a birdie the 11^th and claimed the outright lead with another gain on the 16^th hole.

His fourth birdie of the day followed on the 17^th and he took a two-stroke lead down the 72^nd hole. He pulled his drive off the par-five 18^th tee, finding a bunker, but he recovered and parred the final hole to finish on nine under par two strokes ahead of van Rooyen and American pair Sean Crocker and Julian Suri.

American David Lipsky finished solo fifth on five under par, while Scotland’s Grant Forrest and Japan’s Masahiro Kawamura shared sixth place.
