Bernd Wiesberger claimed his first DP World Tour title in nearly five years on Sunday, victorious at the 2026 Volvo China Open.


The Austrian, who started his final round one shot off the pace, chased down overnight leader and playing partner Adrian Otaegui to record a three-stroke triumph at Shanghai’s Enhance Anting Golf Club.

A final round of 67 saw him finish 19 under par and secure his ninth win on the DP World Tour, and his first since the 2021 Made in HimmerLand presented by FREJA.


The final group, surging clear of the field early in the afternoon, producing thrilling golf for the local fans, with 2024 champion Otaegui reaching the turn three shots clear.


A scoring burst of three birdies in four holes, including a pivotal chip-in at the tenth, saw Wiesberger reel Otaegui in before taking the outright lead at the 16th, the Spain-born Emirati dropping his second shot in five holes.


Otaegui's 18th hole proved more damaging, closing with a double bogey to finish at 16 under par, while Wiesberger held his nerve to two-putt for par and seal his return to the winner’s enclosure after a 1792-day absence.


Sweden's Mikael Lindberg fired a final-round 67 to clinch solo third at 14 under, with South African Shaun Norris one shot further back in fourth.


German Freddy Schott carded the lowest round of Sunday with a 64 to take fifth at 12 under, France's Tom Vaillant and Englishman Nathan Kimsey shared sixth at 11 under and defending champion Ashun Wu led Alejandro Del Rey, Darius van Driel, Antoine Rozner and Anthony Quayle one shot further back.
