SURREY, England, May 30 (UPI) -- Scottish golfer Scott Drummond, a lowly 435th in the world and 186th on the European Tour, won the Volvo PGA championship on Sunday.
The day after his 30th birthday, Drummond captured the first prize of $769,440 when he beat Argentina's Angel Cabrera by two shots with a closing round of 8-under-par 64. He wound up at 19-under 269.
Drummond had never finished higher than 16th in any tournament on the circuit. He became the first player to win the tour's flagship event in his debut since Arnold Palmer in 1975.
Drummond missed the halfway cut in seven of his previous eight starts.
Swede Joakim Haeggman finished third and four-time winner Nick Faldo's closing 66 gave the Englishman a share of fourth with Darren Clarke of Northern Ireland and Hansen.
