Omega European Masters 2015: Final Leaderboard Scores and Prize Money Payouts

Englishman Danny Willett edged out compatriots Matt Fitzpatrick and Tyrrell Hatton to win the 2015 Omega European Masters in Switzerland.

Willett and Fitzpatrick were tied for the lead on 12 under on Day 3, but a round of five-under 65 was enough to secure the victory for Willett on 17 under overall.

Hatton's magnificent eight-under 62 saw him shoot up to 15 under overall on an excellent final day.

Meanwhile, strong rounds from Sergio Garcia, Rikard Karlberg and Florian Fritsch saw them climb high on the leaderboard to ensure a healthy share of the prize money.

Here is how the leaderboard finished, along with the prize money each player will receive:

Willett enjoyed a far calmer start to the day than he did in the earlier rounds. Whereas the world No. 32 had previously hit five birdies, two bogeys and a double bogey in the first four holes over Rounds 1, 2 and 3, he carded pars until the fifth, where he hit his first birdie of the day.

A second birdie at the ninth capped a solid, if unspectacular front nine for the 27-year-old, but three consecutive birdies at the 13th, 14th and 15th secured the win for Willett.

As the European Tour's official Twitter feed notes, Willett's victory will likely have a significant impact on his world ranking:

The victory is even more impressive considering it came in the face of a strong challenge from Fitzpatrick.

The 20-year-old began the day nervously, bogeying the first, but he quickly roared back into contention with a series of birdies, redeeming his mistake almost immediately with this phenomenal putt at the third:

Fitzpatrick hit a birdie at the fifth as well, before this stunning approach shot earned him another at the seventh:

The youngster also carded birdies on the ninth, 14th and 15th, with golf journalist Joy Chakravarty noting the difficulty he posed to Willett:

However, a bogey at the 11th ultimately cost the Englishman the chance of victory on an otherwise excellent final round.

After an even score on Day 3, Hatton sat on seven under and looked out of contention for the top spot. Though Willett and Fitzpatrick's efforts ensured he would not win, Hatton enjoyed an outstanding round, as he hit six birdies and an eagle.

The European Tour highlighted the many ups and downs he produced throughout the four days of competition:

Despite Hatton and Fitzpatrick's excellent efforts, Willett was ultimately the deserved winner.

Following a strong showing at the British Open, where he finished sixth, Willett is now celebrating his third win on the European Tour. The Englishman's stock is continuing to rise, and if he can maintain his incredible form he will undoubtedly be a contender for the remainder of the year.

Another solid effort at the PGA Championship in August can cap a successful year for Willett.
