Bernd Wiesberger surges late to end five-year title drought at Volvo China Open

The Austrian had been a picture of consistency this week at Shanghai Enhance Anting Golf Club and trailed Adrian Otaegui by one shot heading into Sunday's final round.

It soon became a two-way tussle for the title as the final group surged clear of the field, however, Otaegui reached the turn with a three-shot lead at 19 under.

A scoring burst of three birdies in four holes saw Wiesberger reel in Otaegui before taking the outright lead at the 16th when Otaegui dropped his second shot in five holes.

Emirati got in trouble down the last and Wiesberger played conservatively to seal his ninth DP World Tour title by three shots at 19 under.

"It's been a tough couple of years," an emotional Wiesberger said. "An unbelievable week.

"I played my heart out today, it wasn't pretty at times but I got it done.

"Adrian is a great competitor and had it under control, but something happened on that tenth hole that I can't explain. That's how golf goes sometimes.

"I'm super proud of sticking through hard times on the golf course lately, but this is for everyone at home and couldn't be happier.

"Everyone is watching and super excited now, and it changes my next couple of years a little bit. It gets me into the Rolex Series events again and that's huge."

Sweden's Mikael Lindberg fired a final-round 67 to clinch solo third at 14 under, with South African Shaun Norris one shot further back in fourth.

German Freddy Schott carded the lowest round of Sunday with a 64 to take fifth at 12 under, France's Tom Vaillant and Englishman shared sixth at 11 under and defending champion Ashun Wu led Alejandro Del Rey, Darius van Driel, Antoine Rozner and Anthony Quayle one shot further back.
