Manuel Elvira, ranked 294th in the world, was on the verge of his first professional win but had a disastrous 18th hole at Wentworth. His layup found a bunker, he overshot the green, mishit a chip, and failed to convert a 4ft bogey putt. Consequently, Elvira ended up tied for second with three other players, with Spaun taking the trophy.
