Golf-Chinese winner Wu makes European Tour history in Austria (Reuters)

VIENNA, June 12 (Reuters) - Wu Ashun became the first male Chinese golfer to win multiple European Tour titles when he triumphed at the Lyoness Open in Atzenbrugg, Austria on Sunday.

The 30-year-old fired a closing three-under-par 69 to finish on 13-under 275, one stroke ahead of Spain's Adrian Otaegui (69) and two in front of Briton Richard McEvoy (69).

"I am very happy right now," Wu told reporters. "It was a very exciting finish and I still cannot believe it.

"I just kept focused over the last putt. I talked to my caddie and he said, 'it's no problem, it's an easy line so just put it in the hole'.
