Lee Slattery wins Madrid Masters to snatch first European Tour title

? Southport golfer survives final hole double bogey
? Italy's Lorenzo Gagli one shot behind in second place

England's Lee Slattery survived a jittery final hole to claim his maiden win on the European Tour at the Madrid Masters.

The 33-year-old from Southport, who was also looking to secure his playing status for next year, held a three-stroke lead over the Italian Lorenzo Gagli heading up the 18th but put his third shot into the water.

However, he regathered his composure and pitched his fifth shot to within 15 feet, following up with a two-putt for a double bogey to finish on 15-under-par, one better than Gagli.

Eduardo De La Riva and C�sar Monasterio finished a further two shots back on 12-under-par.
