Marius Thorp wins again on Hi5 Pro Tour in Spain

FROM THE SPANISH Hi5 PRO TOUR WEBSITE
Marius Thorp claimed his second career victory on the Hi5 Pro Tour with a solid 69 performance in demanding weather conditions for the Polaris World Condado Open.
The young Norwegian player ended with a three-shot margin of victory over fellow Scandanavian player Fredrik Widmark of Sweden who made a strong attempt to take the title. Thorp made strong birdies on the 15th and 16th to take a two-shot lead over playing partner Florian Fritsch of Germany going into the 17th hole.
Thorp made a great saving par at the short 17th after a pushed tee shot left him with a difficult up and down. However the former world junior champion showed his great composure and sank his 5ft par putt.
With a two-stroke advantage shot going into the final hole, Thorp struck a magnificent tee shot down the middle of the fairway, leaving only a short iron into the green. Fritsch hit an errant tee shot to the right which caused him to make a double bogey, leaving Thorp clear for his professional victory in 2010 and the 4125 Euros first prize cheque.
Thorp has now won twice on the Hi5 Pro Tour. Last year he won the Polaris World El Valle Open.
