Foshan City, China (SportsNetwork.com) – Nacho Elvira carded an even-par 72 on Sunday to hang on for a 1-stroke win at the Foshan Open.<\/p>\n
Elvira claimed his first career win on the European Challenge Tour at 14- under-par 274.<\/p>\n
The Spaniard entered the final round with a 3-shot lead, but countered an early birdie at the second with a bogey at the 14th to head to the 18th hole tied with Sam Walker and Shiv Kapur at 14-under.<\/p>\n
Kapur fell off the pace when he failed to get up and down for par following an errant tee shot into a bunker. That left it to just Elvira and Walker, who were playing alongside each other in the final group.<\/p>\n
After Walker could not convert his par attempt, Elvira calmly rolled in his 12-foot par effort to claim the win.<\/p>\n
Kapur (69), Walker (70) and Tyrrell Hatton (70) finished in a tie for second at 13-under-par 275, while Phillip Archer (69) claimed fifth at 11-under.<\/p>\n
Niklas Lemke (67) and Scott Arnold (69) shared sixth at minus-10.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
