Castellon, Spain - Michael Jonzon ended a 12-year wait for his second European Tour victory when the Swede won the Castello Masters on Sunday.
The 37-year-old stayed calm to birdie the final hole at the Mediterraneo club to close with a four-under-par 67 and a 20-under total of 264, one stroke better than Germany's Martin Kaymer and Swede Christian Nilsson.
It looked as though Jonzon would run away with it going into the back nine after chalking up an eagle and three birdies in six holes to the turn.
Three dropped shots in three holes coming home, though, provided a nervous ending for the Swede who had come to Castellon trying to save his tour card.

He went to the 18th tied with Nilsson, who was already in the clubhouse, and Kaymer, one of his playing partners.
An 18-foot putt, while Kaymer missed from half that length, then earned Jonzon the $495,000 first prize.
Kaymer slumped six strokes behind Jonzon after double-bogeying the 13th. But the 24-year-old German, back after a nine-week injury absence, came roaring back.
While he made ground on order of merit leader Lee Westwood, second place here was not quite enough for Kaymer to regain top spot on the Race to Dubai money list. - Reuters
