Michael Kim secured his maiden DP World Tour title on Sunday after a superb up-and-down from the bunker on the last hole to win the FedEx Open de France.

Kim saved his best until last, firing birdies at the 16th and 17th to take the outright lead before producing a stunning sand save on the 18th for an unlikely par and a 16-under total to secure a one-stroke win over playing partner Elvis Smylie and an inspired Jeong weon Ko.
