Romero turned on the style once he reached the par-three eighth. A birdie was followed by another to close out the back nine. There was better to come when Romero hit a hat-trick of birdies, starting on the par-four 13.
He capped his round with a seventh birdie to seal the title.
Earlier, Detry was in inspired form, consistently putting pressure on the man at the top. He tied the lead when he dropped this drive next to the pin on the 14th:
The Belgian was in control headed onto the back nine but would rue the bogey on the par-four 10th. Detry rallied with two more birdies late on but couldn't avoid being left behind by Romero.
Joint-Round 3 leaders Bland and Garcia joined Detry in second after each shooting 69. On another day, Bland might have kept his lead, yet the Englishman was unfortunate to miss on some exceptional shots, like this one on the ninth:
Bland still birdied the ninth, a trick he repeated on the 10th and 11th holes. However, a bogey on the penultimate hole proved costly for Bland.
Garcia's day didn't start well, with a bogey on the par-four first. A bogey at the 16th also provided trouble for the Spaniard.
He rallied well, though, to birdie the par-four third:
Yet Garcia's biggest problem was he could only manage par on too many holes, 11 to be exact.
Ultimately, none of the chasing pack were able to keep pace with Romero, who did his best scoring in bunches. The run of four birdies over five holes made the South American a worthy winner.
