Simon Dyson finishes seven strokes behind the leader at the Spanish Open
Simon Dyson finished tied for the 12 position, after playing worst in the fourth round of the Spanish Open on Sunday.
The 34-year-old English professional golfer was leading the scoreboard on Saturday. He finished outside the top-10 position due to a mediocre performance in the final round, at the Real Club de Golf de Sevilla in Seville, Spain.
"It leaves a little sour taste. I played 17 and a half great holes," said Dyson.
He teed off the tournament on Thursday, shot a 1-under 71 and secured one of the leading positions in the first round. He shot four birdies and carded three bogeys as well.
He improved his swing and recorded the best score of the tournament. He shot three birdies, one eagle and two bogeys in the second round on Friday. He added a 3-under 69 to the leaderboard scores and secured the top-5 spot.
On Saturday, he again scored a 71. He played an appealing game in the third round and made five birdies, two bogeys and finished the round by carding a double-bogey on the 18th hole.
His performance till the third round was amazing. He as standing at the top most position and had a good chance to become the winner of the tournament.
However, he lost his focus and recorded a poor score in the final round. He started the game by shooting two early birdies on the first and the second hole.
He was unable to be under par as he carded six devastating bogeys. He was 4-over 76 at the end of day and finished seven strokes behind the leader Francesco Molinari.
The Italian Molinari played the most appealing round on Sunday. He shot seven tremendous birdies and was bogey free till the end of the day.
He scored an 8-under 280 and won his third European Tour title in Spain. He defeated three runners-up, who scored a 5-under 69 and finished three strokes behind him.
“Today's round was one of the best I played with conditions easier than the first three rounds,” Molinari said. “I just played really good golf all week but did struggle yesterday with the pace of the greens and the wind”.
He added: “It's huge, it's huge just to win any tournament on the European Tour, but one with the history of this one, in the year of the centenary, is something fantastic”.
Now, Dyson has to improve his swing, stroking and putting for better and safe future. If he practises in layoff, he can score big in the upcoming European Tour events.
