The Spaniard closed the triumph with a five-meter putt that meant the birdie that gave him the title, after abandoning the idea of getting an eagle in the previous shot. <\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">With six birdies and only one bogey, on the fifth hole, Larraz\u00e1bal kept a cool head to achieve a very important victory, the third of his career after those achieved in 2008 at the Alstom Open (France) and in 2011 at the BMW Open.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The Spanish success was completed by Rafael Cabrera-Bello, who climbed to fourth place, tied with South African George Coetzee and only two strokes behind the winner.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\n<p class=\"p2\"><strong>Ranking<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">1.
