Wang Jeung-hun beats Siddikur Rahman to Mauritius Open title

Wang Jeung-hun sinks an 18th-hole birdie to win the Mauritius Open by a single stroke from Siddikur Rahman.

South Korean Wang Jeung-hun has won the AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open after a birdie at the final hole saw him beat Siddikur Rahman by one stroke.

Rahman had led after rounds of 68, 72 and 69 and maintained a one-shot advantage over Wang in the final holes, but a bogey at the 17th saw the Bangladeshi golfer pegged back and facing the prospect of a playoff.

However, Wang held his nerve at the par-five 18th and a birdie saw the world number 88 take victory.

Belgium's Nicolas Colsaerts was forced to settle for a tie for third place with Argentine Estanislao Goya after a final round of 75 brought his quest for a Tour title to an end.

Meanwhile, Andrew Dodt finished his tournament on one-over-par, having vied for the lead going into the weekend.
