Slattery started the day in the lead, but Porteous opened his final round with two birdies to tie with the Englishman, as the European Tour highlighted on Twitter:

The lead then switched between the pair as the closing round really started to hot up, and the European Tour's statistics proved there was very little to choose between the two men:

Further birdies followed for Porteous at the sixth and ninth as he kept the pressure on Slattery, with the end starting to come into sight.

Despite bogeys at the 10th and 11th, Porteous also managed to keep his nerve impressively as the day wore on, with a birdie putt at the 14th followed by a stunning tee shot at the 16th.

That left Porteous one ahead going into the 18th, although this time there was a little anxiety coming into play.

Slattery overhit his approach to the green and could could only manage a bogey-five while Porteous made par to seal the title.

The lowest round of the day was claimed by Tom Lewis, who hit a five under-par 67, to finish third, tied with Pontus Widegren.
