Wu Ashun clinches second European Tour title with Lyoness Open victory

China's Wu Ashun comes from a stroke behind to win the Lyoness Open on Sunday for his second career European Tour title.

China's Wu Ashun has claimed his second career European Tour title after an exciting final round at the Lyoness Open on Sunday.

The 30-year-old, who also won the China Open last year, carded a closing 69 at the Diamond Country Club to finish 13-under-par.

Wu was just one shot ahead of playing partner Adrian Otaegui of Spain, with England's Richard McEvoy equalling the best finish of his career in third.

After starting the day a shot behind South Africa's Zander Lombard, Wu surged into a three-shot lead thanks to five birdies and a bogey in a front nine of 32.

Wu later carded a double-bogey on the par-four 10th but nevertheless held on for the victory as Lombard dropped to fifth with a two-over 74.
