Golf Algarve Portuguese Open: Fredrik Jacobson delivered a tutorial on getting the job done to elbow aside a quartet of British rivals for victory in the Algarve Portuguese Open here yesterday.

The 29-year-old Swede with the same taste in rainbow-hued golf gear as compatriots Jesper Parnevik and Jarmo Sandelin wielded his 58-degrees sand iron like a magic wand to chip in no fewer than three times in a gutsy closing 72.

A modest five-under-par 283 - the highest winning total on the current European Tour - was good enough to earn the man who has just spent 10 weeks on the sidelines with a wrist injury a £142,500 second success after his Hong Kong Open breakthrough and lift him to fifth in the money list.

With a five-man play-off looking a distinct possibility, Jacobson calmly coaxed in an 18-foot birdie putt at the 15th to regain a share of the lead.

Then he wafted in a 30-footer from just short of the 17th with that sand iron for the cheekiest of eagle threes to jump two clear and be able to enjoy the luxury of a bogey five at the last.

He ended one ahead of Welshmen Bradley Dredge and Jamie Donaldson, and former Spanish Open winner Brian Davis, who birdied 15 and 17 to match Jacobson's 72.

Greg Owen, who had got his nose back in front after squandering a three-stroke lead with a Saturday 76, ended a stroke further back after a sad 73.

After four third-place finishes he had looked the man most likely to do the trick when he holed a wickedly curling 50-foot putt for a three at the 13th to move ahead at five under par.

But Owen, who had finished a stroke behind another Swede, Carl Pettersson, in last year's Portuguese championship, stumbled with a five at the next after missing the green by 30 yards.

Another bogey five at the last tipped him back into fifth place.

Ireland's Graeme McDowell finished with a 71 for a four-round total of 292.
