Austria's Bernd Wiesberger clinched his maiden European Tour title with victory at the Ballantine's Championship in Korea.

Wiesberger closed the tournament at 18 under and triumphed by five shots from Scotland's Richie Ramsay.

Ramsay could have put Wiesberger under pressure by finishing with a course-record equalling 65, but the champion's 68 was more than enough for him to protect his overnight lead.

World No. 170 Wiesberger did not drop a shot on the final day, and completed his tournament with three birdies in his final four holes.

"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, it was awesome. My game plan was to hit as many greens as possible and try to make putts, and they dropped in the end.

"I didn't get nervous, I had three or four shots. There was a pretty shaky moment at 12 but I made a great chip and a putt for par, but I just tried to enjoy it the last three or four holes in."

Ian Poulter ended in a tie for 15th at seven under, two shots better off than Paul Casey.
