2010 Villaitana Open Winner Robert Svensson (l) and runner up Pete James (r)

Clear blue skies welcomed the players to the final round of the opening event of the 2010 Hi5 Pro Tour season.  Robert Svensson of Sweden produced a fine round of 70 in the 2010 Villaitana Open to force a play off with overnight leader Pete James of England. The two ended the 36 hole rain shortened event both at -1 and went into a sudden death play off after both of them birdied the final hole. Both players recorded pars on the first play off hole with James narrowly missing his birdie putt leaving Svensson a chance for victory with a short birdie putt after his great second shot into the par 4. However Svensson’s putt also slipped by the right side so both players went into the second play off hole. After another precise iron shot into the green to 2 meters, Svensson did not let this chance slip by again and made the birdie putt to secure his first win on the Hi5 Pro Tour.

Tied 3rd was Kris Jones from England and last years defending champion Carlos Garcia of Spain both finishing at level par.

Low amateur for the event and low round of the day shooting a fine 67 five under par was Lasse Sonne Nielsen of Denmark.

In the seniors division Trevor Wisson of England captured his first win on the Hi5 Pro Tour.
