West Waterford golfer Gary Hurley has won the Alps De Andalucia in Ayemonte, Spain.

A final round 67 from the 29-year-old propelled him to -18, four shots clear of France's Julien Sale and Italy's Andrea Romano.

An eagle on the 15th proved pivotal for the former Walker Cup star, who signed off in style by grabbing a birdie to close out his week at the 18th.

It's a first Alps Tour win of the season for Hurley who now rises to fifth in the Order of Merit standings.
