VALENCIA, Spain (March 5, 2017) -- Jack Davidson went from the last man into match play to the last man standing. On Sunday at Campo de golf de El Saler Davidson swung his way to a 4&3 victory in the championship match of the Spanish International Amateur. Down one after the morning 18 against No. 14 Marco Penge of England, Davidson found an extra gear in the afternoon round as he ultimately pulled away. Davidson, the 32-seed, trailed 2 down after 14 holes battling back to tie the match on the 17th hole only to see Penge win the 18th hole and regain the lead after the first round. However, that lead didn't last long as Davidson of Wales squared the match again on the opening hole of the second round and then took the lead for good on No. 4. Davidson was just 1 up following the 29th hole but won three of the next four holes to close out the match on the 15th green.
