Indonesia Open: England's Simon Dyson made the most of a calamitous error from his rival Andrew Buckle to claim his first European Tour title at the Enjoy Jakarta HSBC Indonesia Open.
A poor drive on the sixth led to a sequence of events that had the Australian shoot into the water, twice into the rough and eventually three-putt, turning a one-shot lead into a three-shot deficit.
Dyson eagled the next hole and while his opponent birdied, the steady Yorkshireman was able to keep his composure and his lead for the remainder of his round to claim his first European Tour title with closing 67 for a winning 20-under par aggregate - Buckle shot 69.
"I was hoping we’d finish today and not have to come back tomorrow, given the way I played the first nine holes," said Dyson after another rain delay of two hours in Jakarta. "The break had done me no favours and I struggled for the next three holes. But I kept plodding away.
"All credit to Andrew, anyone shooting an eight could have gone, but he showed a lot of guts to hang in there and he kept throwing birdies at me," added the winner who picked up a cheque for £94,000 for his efforts.
David Higgins finished a creditable tied seventh on 11-under after carding a final round 71. Peter Lawrie moved through the field to six under with a closing 67 while Damien McGrane dropped back to one under after his 75.
