Bernd Wiesberger ended his five-year wait for a DP World Tour title following victory at the China Open on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The Austrian started the final round one shot adrift of overnight leader Adrian Otaegui but his round of 67 saw him finish 19-under and three strokes clear at the top of the leaderboard.<\/p>\n

Otaegui (71) had a miserable back nine that saw him bogey twice and double-bogey the 18th at the Shanghai Enhance Anting Golf Club.<\/p>\n

“It’s been a tough couple of years,” an emotional Wiesberger said. “An unbelievable week.<\/p>\n

“I played my heart out today, it wasn’t pretty at times but I got it done.<\/p>\n

“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.<\/p>\n

“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.<\/p>\n

“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.”<\/p>\n

Sweden’s Mikael Lindberg fired a final-round 67 to clinch solo third at 14 under, with South African early pacesetter Shaun Norris one shot further back in fourth.<\/p>\n

German Freddy Schott carded the lowest round of Sunday with a 64 to take fifth at 12 under, France’s Tom Vaillant and Englishman Nathan Kimsey 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.<\/p>\n

Wiesberger’s last victory came at the Danish Golf Championship in May 2021.<\/p>\n
