Unheralded Australian Sam Brazel birdied the last gap to win the Hong Kong Open by one stroke and leave runner-up Rafa Cabrera-Bello grief-stricken on Sunday.
The joint overnight pioneers were bolted on 12-under at the unsafe standard four eighteenth after a grip of challengers fell away late on a superb day at Fanling.
Spanish Ryder Cup player Cabrera-Bello missed a long downhill putt by inches, leaving 480th-positioned Brazel to come in an eight-foot birdie to secure his first European Tour win and by a wide margin the greatest title of his profession.
The 37-year-old understudy's last round of 68 remaining him with a 13-under aggregate of 267.
Australia's Andrew Dodt and Briton Tommy Fleetwood were joint third on 11-under, with U.S. Experts champion Danny Willett completing 6th two further strokes behind.
