Rafael Cabrera-Bella shoots a 60 to win in Austria.

25 year old Rafael Cabrera-Bella will never forget his first win on the European Tour.He started the last round of the AUSTRIAN OPEN 8 shots behind Benn Barham,but what a round he put together.Bella birdied the 3rd,4th,5th,8th,9th,10th,11th,13th,14th,16th and 18th and 7 pars to equal the European tour record low score of 60 shots.
Bella collects the 166,660 Euros first prize with his -20 under par and moves up to 46th in the Race to Dubai.
Benn Barham(175th)finished runner up only one shot behind on -19 and has now moved up to (126th) with a cheque for 111,110 Euros,but it is little consolation as he played great golf all week,but he couldn't have expected Rafael to come out of the pack with a stunning round of 60.
Soren Hansen was 3rd for the 2nd week in a row with a closing 68 to finish on -17.

Damien McGrane(53rd)hit 3 rounds of 67 to go with his opening 71 to finish on -12 and in joint 10th place.He won 17,925 Euros but it only moved him up one spot to(52nd).
