Slattery Will Get You Everywhere

England's Lee Slattery (doing an extremely convincing impression of Captain Black from Captain Scarlet & The Mysterons – younger viewers apologies!) held his nerve to win his second European Tour title with a one-shot victory over Argentinian Estanislao Goya at the Russian Open. The Cheshire player began the fog-delayed final round two shots ahead of Argentina's Estanislao Goya and Scotland's Craig Lee.

We are going dancing after this, yeah?

Goya, however, played the front nine brilliantly and was two ahead by the 12th. And then he capitulated briefly, bogeying the 13th and 15th. When Slatter chipped in on 17, it paved the way for the Cheshire lad to close out the 18th with a safe par, winning by one shot when Goya failed to find the eagle he needed to tie. 

"To chip one in at such an important time meant so much," said Slattery. "It's just nice to be able to finish the year off like this with a win. My wife's dad is very ill as well, so this is for him."

Slattery is now top  of the new Ryder Cup points table. Good work Slats!!!

Honest, I don't look anything like him...

He does, though doesn't he...
