Michael Hoey today claimed his second European Tour title on Portuguese soil with a two shot victory over Jamie Elson and Chris Gane at the Madeira Islands Open.

Hoey with the help of caddy Owen Craig held his nerve amidst the stunning setting of Porto Santo Golfe to shoot a closing 71 to finish ten under par and win by two. Fittingly the course was designed by the late Seve Ballesteros.
“I guess I knew I had a good chance this week. The last two years I finished sixth both times, and I knew I was putting better and chipping better this year. That's what I did well, I just chipped and putted better than the last two years. It was also windy when I won the Estoril Open at Oitavos Dunes, and I guess growing up in those conditions so that's an advantage.”
