Karlsson and Stenson stormed through the day's play. They had three birdies in the first five holes and turned in 31, 5 under par.

They then parred the tenth and birdied the 11th, and produced a great second shot at the 12th.

The Swedes managed a birdie three at the 14th.

They finished with straight pars to be back in 32. That was enough to give them a 9-under 63 on the final day, three clear shots of second placed Spain. Karlsson and Stenson were the favourites entering the tournament, and two of only three players in the field ranked in the top 20. Karlsson, who won the European money title this season, is Number 6 and Stenson is 12th.
