Byeong Hun An rode a tournament-record score to claim the 2015 BMW Championship, en route to his first European Tour title.
An's ascension up the leaderboard began in Friday's Round 2. After a modest opening round on Thursday saw An bogey twice and finish at 1-under, he had only two bogeys the rest of the week to finish at -21.
Sunday's round saw An shoot a 7-under 65, leaving everyone else in the dust. The 21-under score by the 23-year-old set a tournament record.
Miguel Angel Jimenez and Thongchai Jaidee finished in a tie for second with a score of -15, two strokes up on Chris Wood.
Francesco Molinari was the early leader, but in his final round he went 2-over 74, finishing in fifth place.
