Harrogate's John Parry secured his return to the European Tour by winning the final stage by four shots courtesy of a sixth round two under par 70 for an amazing 19 under total of 409.
Parry soared to a convincing win, posting four birdies and two bogeys to finish four ahead of Mikael Lundberg, who closed with a 69, and six clear of Andy Sullivan, who repeated his 2011 performance in taking third place.
Parry is the fourth consecutive English winner of the final stage, following Simon Khan (2009), Simon Wakefield (2010) and David Dixon (2011).
This week Somerset's Dixon, from Bridgwater's Enmore Park, finished tied 60th and four over on 432 – nine shots off qualification.
Wembury-based professional Scott Drummond missed the cut on Tuesday – after four rounds – by just one shot.
