On Sunday, Bernd Wiesberger won the China Open at Shanghai Enhance Anting Golf Club, securing his first DP World Tour title in 1,792 days.
Austria's Wiesberger returned to the tour two years ago after playing two seasons with Saudi-backed LIV Golf, marking a comeback following a tough period.
Wiesberger finished at 19-under 265 with a flawless final-round 67, carding four birdies to overcome Spain's Adrian Otaegui in the tournament shootout.
Spain-Born Otaegui faltered with bogeys on the 12th and 16th holes, finishing with a double bogey three shots behind, while Sweden's Mikael Lindberg placed third at 14 under.
The former Ryder Cup player's victory marks his ninth career title, following his last win in Denmark in 2021 that helped him qualify for the team at Whistling Straits.
