Home favourite Bernd Wiesberger snatched victory with a seven-under-par last round of 65 in the Lyoness Open in Austria.

The 26-year-old from Vienna caught long-time leader Thorbjorn Olesen of Denmark with four birdies in five holes around the turn and then took the lead with two more birdies at the 15th and 16th. He finished with a spectacular 50-foot putt on the final green for a 19-under-par total at Diamond Country Club in Atzenbrugg. Ireland’s Shane Lowry posted a final-round 66 to share second place with Frenchman Thomas Levet, two shots back.

Olesen, who had led since 
midway through the second round, slumped to a 74 to leave him a further two shots adrift in fifth place.
