England's James Morrison won the 2015 Open De Espana at El Prat in Barcelona on Sunday, shooting an impressive three-under 69 in his final round for 10 under in the tournament.

Heading into Sunday's play tied for the lead with compatriot David Howell at seven under par, Morrison thrived as he carded a bogey-less round to take his second career European Tour title by four shots.

Howell dropped to six under for the tournament after a 73, tied for second with home favourite Miguel Angel Jimenez, Edouard Espana and Francesco Molinari.

Read on for a full day-by-day recap of the action in Spain.

 

Day 4 Recap 

Morrison picked up his first shot on Sunday with a birdie on the fifth hole courtesy of a chip-in from behind the green, and he moved to nine under with a three on the par-four ninth.

Eight consecutive pars on the back nine saw him head to the 18th with a three-stroke advantage at the top of the leaderboard, and his birdie on the last hole saw him claim a comfortable win.

Here's how the leaderboard finished after 72 holes of action, per the European Tour's official website:



Morrison followed a 70 and 71 on the first two days with an excellent round of 68 on Saturday, which put him in contention for tournament victory.

He barely looked flustered on Sunday as he cruised to victory in impressive style, with no other player in the field able to keep pace with him.

A bogey on the sixth and a six on the par-four ninth effectively put paid to Howell's challenge. The 39-year-old birdied three of the last five holes to tie for second, but he could not mount a charge in the end for the title.

Jimenez's 67 moved him also into a tie for second, with the veteran Spaniard moving to six under courtesy of five birdies and an eagle on the par-four fifth, per The European Tour:
