Emotional Strange wins Volvo China Open

An emotional Scott Strange shot a closing 68 for a one-stroke victory over Spain's Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano at the Volvo China Open yesterday.

The Australian began the final round four off the pace but birdies at the fifth and eighth saw him move into contention on a congested leaderboard.

A par putt at the 12th slid by the hole but it proved a temporary setback as birdies at the 14th and 15th were followed by another at the 17th which earned him victory in the European Tour and OneAsia Tour co-sanctioned event.
