Chinese takeaway foils Els quest for fourth straight tournament victory

LIAN-Wei Zhang became the first Chinese winner on the European Tour

World number two Els led by one shot playing the final hole but ran up a bogey five and then saw playing partner Zhang hole from five feet for birdie to snatch the title and £92,000 first prize.

Zhang carded a closing 70 for a 10-under total of 278, with Els a shot behind and Thailand's Prayad Marksaeng another stroke back in third. England's Simon Khan and Holland's Maarten Lafeber shared fourth on seven under.
