Austrian takes first away win at China golf Open
Austrian takes first away win at China golf Open: "Austrian Markus Brier enjoyed a five-stroke victory after firing a final round of four-under-par 67 at the Volvo China Open on Sunday.
Brier blasted a winning total of 10-under-274 and emerged as the first Austrian to triumph at a co-sanctioned Asian Tour and European Tour event.
Brier enjoyed a comfortable five-stroke win over Australia's Scott Hend, who was even-par on the final day together with Graeme McDowell of Northern Ireland, who shot a 69 and South African Andrew McLardy who scored a 70 in joint second place at the Shanghai Silport Golf Club.
'I dreamed about winning yesterday and thought it would be good. The Volvo China Open is a great tournament to win. I have been to China quite a few times and I have always played well,' said Brier, who won the BA-CA Golf Open, presented by Telekom Austria on the European Tour last year.
He previously won the event in 2002 and 2004, when it was staged on the Challenge Tour. All three tournaments were held at Fontana Golf Club, which was his home course in Vienna.
The win at the Volvo China Open was Brier's maiden triumph outside of Austria, with victory worth USUSD333,330."
