Callaway staffer Jorge Campillo claimed his third DP World Tour title by taking down the Magical Kenya Open by two strokes.
Jorge Campillo claimed his third DP World Tour title as he won the Magical Kenya Open presented by absa by two strokes.
The Spaniard was seeking his first victory since the 2020 Commercial Bank Qatar Masters, almost three years ago to the day, but showed no sign of nerves as he carded four birdies on the front nine at Muthaiga Golf Club.
In spite of a bogey on No. 11, cancelling out his fifth birdie of the day on the tenth hole, the 36-year-old held a three-stroke lead on 18.
Campillo finished with a par to sign for a five under par round of 66 and an 18 under par total, two strokes clear of Japan's Masahiro Kawamura.
He added his name to the trophy alongside his compatriot, the late, great Seve Ballesteros, who won the tournament in 1978.
Kawamura recorded his best finish of the season as he finished runner-up on 16 under par.
Spain's Santiago Tarrio and Ryo Hisatsune shared third on 15 under.
