Back-Nine Surge Seals Volvo China Open Glory for Wiesberger

Bernd Wiesberger delivered a strong back-nine performance to win the 2026 Volvo China Open, ending a five-year wait for a DP World Tour title. The Austrian, consistent all week, trailed Adrian Otaegui by one shot entering the final round and faced him in a two-man battle. Otaegui led by three at the turn, but Wiesberger surged with three birdies in four holes, drawing level before taking the lead at the 16th as Otaegui faltered. Wiesberger stayed composed to win by three shots at 19 under, securing his ninth title. An emotional Wiesberger reflected on recent struggles and the importance of the victory. Otaegui finished second after a costly double bogey at the last. Mikael Lindberg took third, ahead of Shaun Norris, while Freddy Schott’s 64 earned fifth.
