Barsebäck G & CC, Malmö, Sweden.

Playing the longest course in European Tour history, measuring a staggering 7010 metres, Ricardo Gonzalez made 5 birdies on the last 6 holes to claim a to shot win 10 under par.  

Only 10 players managed to break par on this windy sunday, and when it looked like the tournament was heading for a three man playoff Gonzalez holed out from the bunker on 17th to grab the lead by 1 shot. Another spectacular birdie on the 18th put the final nail in the coffin, and Gonzalez secured his fourth victory on the European Tour. 

Welsh Jamie Donaldson, who had a good round on sunday scoring -5 finished alone in second place (-8 total). Denmarks Jeppe Huldahl finished third at -6, with bogies on the last two holes.
