Daniel Vancsik produced a dazzling six under par round of 65 to coast to a six stroke win at the BMW Italian Open.
The Argentinian carded eight birdies and two bogeys to finish the week 17 under par - six better than John Daly, Raphaël Jacquelin and Robert Rock.
The win is 32 year old Vancsik’s second on The European Tour - his maiden victory coming at the 2007 Madeira Islands Open BPI.
Anybody who thought Daly was finished as a golfer will be thinking again after he stormed into a share of second place in Turin.
A week after his 43rd birthday Daly lit up the event with more than just his trousers - this was the former Open Championship winner’s second event back from a four month lay-off.
Vancsik's European career has been one of real fluctuating fortunes.
His seven stroke Madeira victory two years ago came on his 50th start - and the previous 49 did not contain a single top ten finish.
Now this win has come after almost a year without a top ten finish, with his previous best this season being 42nd in Spain last week.
But at Royal Park I Roveri Vancsik made a nonsense of his 420th place on the world rankings, finishing with a 17 under par total of 267.
Only one ahead overnight he birdied four of the first six holes, turned in 32 and then added three more birdies in the next five holes.
"My putting was fantastic," he said. "I played more aggressive and thought if I got to six or seven under (on the day) the tournament is for me.
"Now my goal is to get into a Major." He has yet to make one, losing a qualifying play-off to amateur Gary Wolstenholme for the US Open Championship last year.
Daly was still outside the top ten when he covered the front nine in 35, but he came home in 31 with birdies at the 11th, 14th, 16th and 17th.
Rock, who destroyed his putter in anger after an opening 72, and Jacquelin both closed with 68s to deny Daly outright second, while South African Thomas Aiken was one shot further back in fifth.
