Grant Forrest closed with a 66 to win his first European Tour title in his 77th start at the Hero Open. He is the first Scotsman to win on home soil since Paul Lawrie won the Johnnie Walker Championship at Gleneagles in 2012.

"There are so many emotions. To do it in front of everyone who has come up to support me - the last year and a half has been a real challenge on and off the course so I'm just delighted.

"We've been through quite a lot as a family and to do it here, it's what I've always dreamed of to win on the European Tour. I think there's a big party at the in-laws tonight."

Forrest was tied for the lead alongside fellow Scot Calum Hill after the third round and they fought for the lead for most of the day.

When Englishman James Morrison carded a 63 to set the clubhouse target at 23-under Forrest was on the 17th tee. He produced back-to-back birdies to win by one shot pushing Morrison down into second place.

"I saw the scoreboard and I knew what I needed to do," said Forrest. "Our big thing all day was one shot at a time, let's just keep hitting shots and I hit a great nine iron into 17 nice and close, and that really helps, and then two great shots into 18 - it was a great way to finish."

Spain's Santiago Tarrio shot a bogey-free 68 to finish third at 21-under ahead of Scottish duo David Law (68) and Hill (70) at 20-under.
