Sweden's Niclas Fasth ended the home nation's dominance of the Mallorca Classic to complete his own Spanish double on Sunday.

Fasth, who won the Spanish Open at San Roque in April, carded a final round of 68 for a five-under-par total of 275 at Pula Golf Club, one of just four players to finish under par.

Pre-tournament favourite Sergio Garcia, first and second here in the last two years, was second again after a closing 68 completed despite a brief invasion of the 18th green by two protestors as he stood over his second shot.

It is believed they were campaigning against the building of more golf courses on the island,

Scotland's Marc Warren and Spain's Jose Manuel Lara were the only other players in red figures on one under, while Ireland's Gary Murphy - joint leader with Fasth overnight - slumped to a 76 to finish in joint 13th at three over.

"I've had a somewhat average summer but felt the game was coming together again," Fasth said. "I've been having more fun and relaxing more and it's fantastic to win.

"It's not often you have a three-shot lead coming up the last and are able to relax and enjoy the win.

"Now I need to take my game to the next level and that would be to contend more. I didn't have a chance to win that many times this season and to play at the highest level I need to be in contention more."

Fasth began the day tied for the lead with Ireland's Gary Murphy and was never headed once he claimed the outright lead with a birdie on the sixth.

A bogey on the ninth saw the 34-year-old's lead cut to one but crucial birdies at the 10th and 14th effectively sealed victory and the £196,000 first prize.

Garcia had threatened to make matters interesting when he birdied the 13th to close within two shots but the world number 10 then missed from six feet for another birdie on the next and his chance for a second win in three years had gone.

Fasth is the first non-Spaniard to win the title. Miguel Angel Jimenez won the inaugural event in 2003, Garcia winning in 2004 and Jose Maria Olazabal triumphing last year.

"I feel like I played really, really well today and gave myself so many chances," said Garcia, who has now posted 10 top-10 finishes this season without a victory. "I don't know how some of the putts I hit didn't go in.

"It was nice to go out on a tough Sunday and shoot pretty much the highest score I could have made. It's a shame I couldn't have gone one better but I'm looking forward to next season."

Murphy's late collapse - he bogeyed the last four holes - was not enough to prevent him from keeping his card for next season, the 34-year-old having started the week in 118th place on the Order of Merit.

Only the top 118 after today keep their playing privileges for next season and Yorkshire's Ian Garbutt was the man celebrating after snatching 118th spot by just £801 from Scotland's David Drysdale.

Garbutt almost withdrew from the event after his father John suffered a heart attack on Wednesday evening, but was persuaded to play on and a share of 64th place proved enough.

"I wasn't going to play but I knew my dad wouldn't have wanted me to pull out," Garbutt told PA Sport. "If I had gone home and missed my card he would have felt even worse but thankfully now he's much better, even though he's still in hospital.

"I couldn't concentrate for the first nine holes on Thursday morning, I didn't want to be here. But then I realised I had to knuckle down and by Friday I started to get my head around it."

Amazingly, Drysdale missed out by a single place for the second year in succession, England's Sam Little pipping him by less than £400 12 months ago by scrambling a par on the final green.

Little was not so fortunate this time however, a share of 38th here leaving him down in 122nd place, while tournament committee chairman Jamie Spence was 123rd after two late bogeys ended his chances of the top-10 finish he needed.

Scotland's Andrew Oldcorn was way down in 199th position, just five year's after winning the tour's flagship event, the PGA Championship, at Wentworth.
