PORTUGAL MASTERS

England's Smith Storms To Stunning Wire-To-Wire Win

- 

Jordan Smith's fiveJ year wait for a second European Tour title ended with a tremendous display of frontrunning for a three-shot victory at the Portugal Masters.

The Englishman went into the final round with a two-shot lead, treating the crowds to a ball-striking masterclass as he made an eagle and six birdies in a flawless 63 to finish the tournament on 30 under par.

Smith's wire-to-wire victory sees him returning to the winner's circle for the first time since the 2017 Porsche European Open. Gavin Green finished alone in second after closing with a brilliant 64 to finish on 27 under par. Barely putting a foot wrong all day, Green impressed with some magnificent shots as he attempted to reel in Smith but in the end the Englishman proved impossible to catch.
