WENTWORTH, May 30: Britain's Scott Drummond clinched his maiden European Tour title on Sunday, edging out Argentina's Angel Cabrera by two shots for the Volvo PGA Championship.
The 30-year-old Scot, who started the day one stroke adrift of overnight leader Cabrera, reeled off birdies at the last two holes for an eight-under-par 64 to finish at 19-under 269.
Cabrera, despite eagling the fourth and 12th, had to settle for outright second after a final-round 67. Six-time major champion Nick Faldo birdied five of the last seven holes on his way to a closing 66 and a three-way tie for fourth at 15-under 273.
