Sweden’s Michael Jonzon proved that in golf it takes just one week to make it a great year with victory at the CASTELLÓ MASTERS Costa Azahar - his first European Tour win in 12 years.

Without a single top ten finish since December, and needing to come first or second to guarantee his European Tour card for next year, Jonzon won in Spain with a closing 18 foot birdie putt, holding off Germany's Martin Kaymer, who made a superb return to action following a long injury lay off, and compatriot Christian Nilsson.

But Jonzon, 482nd in the world and playing with tenth-ranked Sergio Garcia and 12th-ranked Kaymer held on to win the first prize of €333,330 which was more than four times his previous biggest cheque in a career that goes back 16 years and includes eight trips to the Qualifying School.

"It's going to take time to let this sink in, I guess. "I'm just so thrilled to have a playing status for next year and I'm so proud of myself the way I handled these days."
