Golf: England’s Lee Slattery survived a jittery final hole to claim his maiden win on the European Tour at the Madrid Masters today. The 33-year-old held a three-stroke lead over Italian Lorenzo Gagli heading up the 18th but put his third shot into the water.

He gathered himself again, though, pitching his fifth to within 15 feet and then two-putted for a double bogey to finish on 15 under par, one better than Gagli. Eduardo De La Riva and Cesar Monasterio finished a further two shots back on 12 under.

A tired world number one Luke Donald trailed in seven shots behind Slattery while Paul McGinley had to settle for a share of 28th place after finishing on four under.
