Y.E. Yang, Asia's first Major winner, won his second OneAsia title of the year after shooting a closing five-under-par 66 for a surprise two-stroke victory in the 53rd Kolon Korea Open. |
Noh Seung-yul started the final day with a five-stroke lead and was 10 clear of Yang, but the 19-year-old flailed to a 79 to share fourth place after a dramatic final day at Woo Jeong Hills Country Club.
Yang won KRW300 million (about US$262,430) after finishing with a four-under total of 280, two ahead of 20-year-old Kim Bi-o, who shot 73, and Choi Ho-sung, who carded a 71.
Choi Jin-ho (70) tied with Noh at one-under, while 18-year-old amateur Han Chang-won (71) was sixth at even-par.
