Anirban Lahiri won
the Malaysian Open after firing a final round 4-under 68 to beat Austria’s
Bernd Wiesberger by one shot at the Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country Club. Lahiri carded six birdies and two bogeys
to finish on 16-under 272.
A five-time winner
on the Asian Tour, Lahiri will get a big ratings boost by winning the co-sanctioned
European Tour event. Lying a distant 21st after the second round, nine shots
off the pace, Lahiri got into contention by equaling the course record of 62 in
the third round.
Wiesberger started
the day with a two-shot lead but could only produce a two-over 74, leaving him
with a fourth-straight top ten finish without taking the winner’s check.
