Bernd Wiesberger of Austria secured a victory at the China Open, marking his first win on the European Tour since his return from the Saudi-backed LIV Golf. Wiesberger played a flawless final round, finishing with a 4-under 67, which allowed him to surpass Spain’s Adrian Otaegui. Otaegui, who had a three-shot lead on the back nine, faltered with mistakes on the par 3s and ended with a double bogey on the 18th, finishing three shots behind Wiesberger. This win is Wiesberger’s ninth career European title and his first since 2021, when he qualified for the Ryder Cup. After two seasons with LIV Golf, Wiesberger’s return to the European Tour has been marked by this significant victory.
