SPANISH Hi5 PRO TOUR

Good Evans! Matthew's first pro win

worth 4,125 Euros and a watch

FROM THE Hi5 PRO TOUR WEBSITE
Matthew Evans, 34-year-old six-footer (6ft 2in to be precise) from England, achieved his second professional victory today at the first event of the 100,000 Euros Polaris Swing on the Spanish Hi5 Pro Tour with three closing birdies to finish with a four-stroke victory margin.
Evans, the 2007 British mid-amateur champion and beaten in the final of the English amateur championship the same year, started the day one shot behind 36-hole leader Jack Doherty of Scotland. However Doherty made bogeys on the fourth and fifth holes to see his lead slip away.
Evans' closing round of 69 was the second lowest round of the day in blustery cool conditions as most of Continental Europe is currently experiencing.
Evans' first pro win after moving into the paid ranks in July 2008 was in the 2009 Naples Open, which earned him Category 1 ranking on the 2010 Alps Tour.
Doherty finished alone in second place at seven-under-par, followed by last week's winner, Alex Belt of England, who ended the Polaris and Mar Menor Open at five-under-par.
Low amateur was Lasse Sonne Nielsen of Denmark at one-under-par.
Evans won 4,125 Euros prize money along with the “winners” official time piece from sponsor Thomas Sabo.
