Scottish golfer Grant Forrest 'in shock' as fairytale victory in Madrid earns him place at the Masters

Grant Forrest birdied the final hole in a thrilling finish to avoid a three-way play-off and snatch a one-shot victory at the Open de Espana in Madrid. The 33-year-old Scot sank a four-foot putt on the 18th at the Real Club de Campo Villa de Madrid for a final-round 70 to finish on 14 under and deny home favourite Eugenio Chacarra and France’s Victor Perez. Forrest, who shared a one-shot lead with England’s Joe Dean going into the final round, sealed his third DP World Tour title and a place at both next year’s Masters and The Open.
