Simon Griffiths endorsed that Rookie’s title of the year in the previous season, the first one after 50 years, was more than deserved. The English won Aloha Golf (Marbella) at Staysure Marbella Legends easily, after repeating the 68 on Saturday. In the fourth position was the Malagaño Miguel Ángel Jiménez.
Griffiths had everything facing Sunday. He continued with the plan of the previous days, many birdies and minimize errors. He has committed only three bogeys in as many days, one per day. Difficult to escape the triumph, although Colin Montgomerie tried at the beginning with three birdies in five holes. The eight -time winner of the Order of Merit committed two bogeys followed (9 and 10) and ended his luck.
