Wiesberger claims first Euro tour title
BERND Wiesberger shot a final-round 4-under 68 to secure his maiden European Tour victory with a five-stroke win at the Ballantine's Championship in Seoul yesterday.
The 26-year-old made four birdies on his way to claiming the title to become only the third Austrian to win on the European Tour after Markus Brier and Martin Wiegele.
"I played the best three rounds of my life over the last few days." Wiesberger said. "My game plan was to hit as many greens as possible and give myself birdie putts.
"I had bad pace early on today and left a few short, but they dropped in the end."
Wiesberger finished at 18 under, five strokes ahead of Scot Richie Ramsay, who shot a 65 to equal the course record.
Frenchman Victor Dubuisson, who had led after the first round, finished third alongside Australian Marcus Fraser.
Another Australian, Adam Scott, the highest-ranked player at the event at No. 12, finished 12th after shooting a 65.
Wiesberger went 55 holes without dropping a shot during the tournament, after making a double-bogey on the par-3 13th in his first round.
His victory gives him his European Tour playing card until the end of 2014.
Englishman Ian Poulter finished joint 15th with a 281, as did home favorite Yang Yong-eun. Spaniard Miguel Angel Jimenez managed his first top-five finish of the season after finishing at 10 under.
