CLASSY CANIZARES LEADS ALL THE
WAY TO WIN BY FIVE IN MOROCCO
FROM THE EUROPEAN TOUR WEBSITE
Alejandro Cañizares completed a comprehensive wire-to-wire victory at the Trophée Hassan II to end an eight-year wait for a second European Tour title.
Just as Marcel Siem did 12 months ago at Golf du Palais Royal, Cañizares led from the off with an opening 62 and completed a five-stroke win with a closing round of 70.
That gave the Spaniard a 19 under par total in Agadir, on Morocco's windy Atlantic coastline, with England’s Andy Sullivan storming home in 29 shots for a best-of-the-day 63 to claim second place.
Cañizares won on only his third European Tour start at the 2006 Russian Open, but has had to wait 199 events for win number two – during which time he has been a runner-up four times.
Victory completes an excellent six months for the 31 year old, who has not missed a cut since September. That run that now stretches to 16 tournaments and includes three other top-ten finishes.
