Sullivan looking to push on

Andy Sullivan is hoping to achieve more success after storming to a nine-stroke victory in the Portugal Masters on Sunday.

The Englishman entered the final round with a five-shot advantage and the title was never in doubt after he signed for a 66 to finish the tournament on -23 in Vilamoura.

It was the third win of the season for the 29-year-old, having already clinched the Joburg Open and the South African Open Championship, and the future is looking very bright.

Sullivan had not tasted success on the European Tour until 2015 and the world number 47 is hoping he can go onto bigger and better things for years to come.

He said: “I think there’s a lot of avenues for me to press onto now. I want to achieve as much as I can in the game. The start of the year, I didn’t have one win and I’ve won three times.”

There were also good performances from Sullivan’s compatriots Chris Wood and Anthony Wall as the duo finished second and tied-third respectively after several good displays.

Spain’s Eduardo de la Riva and South African Trevor Fisher Jr shared third spot on -13 while Jorge Campillo, Craig Lee and Thomas Pieters were a further shot behind.

Scotland’s Stephen Gallacher finally managed to hit some form in what has been a disappointing campaign, with the 40-year-old in a seven-way tie for ninth on -11.
