Lee Slattery won his first European Tour title at the 183rd attempt.
MADRID:
England’s Lee Slattery won his first European Tour title at the 183rd attempt when he survived a mistake-plagued start and a disastrous seven at the final hole to take the Madrid Masters by one shot. The 33-year-old finished with a 71 for a 15-under par total. “I’ve been out here for seven years and now I believe I can win. That’s been the biggest problem over the last few years,” said Slattery. World number one and defending champion Luke Donald finished with a level par 72 to be tied for 11th place.
