Morrison wins Mallorca Grand Final to secure DP World Tour card
James Morrison capped a week he had expected might be his last by winning the HotelPlanner Tours Rolex Grand Final at Club de Golf Alcanada in Mallorca on Sunday, sealing a return to the DP World Tour and denying himself an immediate retirement. The 40 year old finished 15 under after a two under par final round of 70 to win by three shots, with his 13 year old son Finley on the bag.
Morrison built a lead with a seven under 65 in the penultimate round and, despite a nervy start on Sunday that included a three putt and an early bogey, steadied to card three birdies in a four‑hole stretch from the 11th. He bogeyed the final hole but held a three‑shot margin over Italy's Stefano Mazzoli. "When I said this was going to be my last event, it really was going to be, 100. This has completely messed that up," Morrison said after the win. He embraced Finley on the 18th green and added, "I feel sorry for him — he's got a half past six alarm for school tomorrow morning. He's amazing. I love him. He did so well."
The victory climbed Morrison 30 places in the season‑long Road to Mallorca standings to sixth and guaranteed him one of the 20 full DP World Tour cards on offer from the final...
