Matteo Manassero has become the youngest winner on the European Tour thanks to his victory at the Castellon Masters in Spain.
Manassero, 17 years and 188 days old, is a year and 25 days younger than previous record holder Danny Lee, from New Zealand, who clinched the 2009 Johnnie Walker Classic in Australia as an amateur.
His four-shot victory with a 16-under par tally earned the Italian a two-year Tour exemption in just his 10th full Tour event since turning pro in May's BMW Italian Open.
He won the British Amateur in 2009, onwards and upwards.
