The 22-year-old South African sealed his first European circuit title at Real Club de Golf el Prat in Spain, finishing at 28-under, with compatriot Shaun Norris second.
Premlall, ranked 598th in the world and coming off a missed cut in Turkey, shot 64, 63 and 63 after opening with a 70.
He had no top-30 finish in eight starts this season and his margin was one short of Tiger Woods' record 15-shot major victory at the 2000 US Open.
