Chinese golfer Wu Ashun makes history on Sunday as he became the first Chinese golfer to win three times on the European Tour after claiming a one-stoke win at the KLM Open in the Netherlands.
Wu scored a closing four-under-par 67 and finished off with a two-putt birdie at the final hole after his aggressive second shot using a hybrid club that avoided a water hazard and ended in the center of the green.
He finished at 16-under 268 and won after English golfer Chris Wood made a three-putt par on the same hole in the course.
Many were surprised upon Wu's victory especially after a poor season and he thanked his coach for assisting him with his victory.
According to Wu, "We just fixed my swing at the beginning of the year and we still trust that we are going the right way."
"My coach and I were working very hard and he has flown to (Europe) to help me so I think we are getting better and better so that's why I think last week was top 10 and then this week just win."
Wu is currently 344th in the world rankings, but he is now expected to rise up to the top 200 after his victory.
When asked about his finish last year and winning third runner-up, he said "My putting has been so good all week and it's just a shame that it let me down at the last."
