Bryson DeChambeau cruised to his first LIV golf victory of the season in South Korea, putting an end to a run of near-misses.
The American held on for the lead for the final day as he won his first tournament victory since the US Open last year.
On Sunday, the 31-year-old birdied six times on the back nine to finish at six-under-par for a total of 19-under.
That placed him two shots clear of compatriot Charles Howell III, who shot a nine-under-63, and Talor Gooch, an additional American, three shots further back after a 66-under-par.
DeChambeau had endured three difficult finishes in the last month, with the final day of the LIV competitions in Miami and Mexico City as well as the Masters.
The two-time major champion finished in fifth place in Miami, tied for second place in Mexico, and then triumphed over Rory McIlroy in Augusta.
DeChambeau held his ground on Sunday, claiming his third LIV overall victory of the year and his first since September 2023.
He said, “I’ve been playing great golf, but I just haven’t done the job.”
