LLOYD SALTMAN WINS IN SPAIN BY 13 STROKES

FROM THE SPANISH Hi5 PRO TOUR WEBSITE
Recent graduate to the main European Tour, Lloyd Saltman closed the deal today at Hacienda del Alamo with another fine performance.
Lloyd fired a fine six under 66 today for a final total of 21 under par 195 for the 54 hole event. His earlier rounds were 65 and 64, the second round lowering the course record held by former Hacienda del Alamo resident pro and European Tour stalwart, Miguel AngeL Jimenez. 
Saltman, who had a total bag of three eagles, 21 birdies, one double bogey (in his final round) and two bogeys, hopes to take his current form, where his next competitors ended up at least 13 shots behind, to Dubai next week when he hopes to resume on the European Tour.
”I am just waiting for the call. Dubai is a big event where a lot of top players come, but let us wait and see what happens," said the Lothians player.
“In any case it has been a great week for me here at Hacienda. The Dave Thomas course was fantastic and it is great training for both my game and confidence for my year ahead.”
In joint second were Joachim Hansen of Denmark and James Hepworth of England. Both finished at eight under par.
Saltman, who also won on the Hi5 Pro Tour last year, won the 3,900 Euros first prize and a famous Thomas Sabo winners watch.
There was a three-way tie for fourth place on seven-under 209 between Carlos Balmaseda from Spain, Lloyd Saltman's older brother Elliot (73-67-69) and Gareth Shaw from Northern Ireland.
Zack Saltman, the youngest of the three brothers, enjoyed one of his highest finishes as a professional. He finished joint ninth on five-under 211 with scores of 72, 70 and 69.
