Thailand veteran Thongchai Jaidee survived a nervous finish to clinch the Wales Open by one shot at a wet Celtic Manor on Sunday as Brett Rumford finished the best of the Australians, seven strokes off the pace.
The 42-year-old posted his first European Tour win outside of Asia after shooting a one-over-par 72 on the final day to finish at six-under.
That was enough to hold on for victory ahead of a group of four players - Spaniard Gonzalo Fdez-Castano, South African Richard Sterne, Denmark's Thomas Bjorn and Dutchman Joost Luiten.
"I want to say thank you to all my family, all the supporters and the sponsors here," Jaidee said.
"Conditions were quite tough for me.
"I tried to hit everything on the fairway - that's the main thing - then hit the ball on the green. It was very, very tough for me, not like Thailand!"
Jaidee, who went into the final day off the back of rounds of 68 and 67 on Friday and Saturday, could not translate that form into birdies in the early stages of Sunday's play.
A bogey on the fourth was followed by a double-bogey on the par-five ninth as his title chances appeared to be slipping away.
He bounced back with a hat-trick of birdies on 10, 11 and 12, before another birdie on 14 gave him renewed hope of a comfortable win.
However, bogeys on the 16th and 18th made for some tense moments before he clung on to clinch his first win on European soil.
Castano fired six birdies in a four-under 67 - the best round of the challengers.
Sterne carded an eagle and a birdie in his last four holes as he shot a 68, while Bjorn (68) and Luiten (72) finished agonisingly close.
Irishman Paul McGinley and England's Ross Fisher tied for sixth at four-under, with the former shooting a day's best six-under 65.
McGinley hit six birdies in nine holes at one stage while Fisher's two-over 73 cost him any chance of winning.
France's Romain Wattel, Sweden's Joel Sjoholm and Irishman Peter Lawrie grabbed a share of eighth at three-under, with Lawrie's 67 including four front-nine birdies.
Rumford was the best of the Australian contingent, coming in at one-over for the tournament.
Rumford's last three rounds were pretty solid as he signed off on scores of 70, 70 and 71 but an opening-day three-over 74 proved costly.
Matthew Zions was a further three strokes behind Rumford after a two-over 73 on the final day to finish one stroke ahead of Marcus Fraser (71).
But poor Scott Hend endured a particularly tough final round, finishing with a 16-over 87 on Sunday to be 19 over for the tournament.
