Golf: Wiesberger eases to European Tour win

SEOUL: Austria’s Bernd Wiesberger eased to a maiden European Tour victory in clinical style, the overnight leader keeping his pursuers at arm’s length to record a five-shot victory at the Ballantine’s Championship. Starting his round with a five-stroke cushion, the 26-year-old signed off with a bogey-free four-under-par 68, playing his last 59 holes at the Blackstone Golf Club win Seoul without dropping a shot to finish on 18-under for the tournament. “I just tried to enjoy it and I had the three best rounds of my life,” said Wiesberger.  “I tried not to make bogeys and I did that pretty well. My game plan was to hit as many greens as possible and try to make putts, and they dropped in the end.”
