Fourth Time Lucky

Final Round – 13 January

Barr captured the championship in dramatic fashion to dethrone Park on a gripping final day.

Barr overcame a potentially disastrous triple bogey early on his round by holding his nerve down the closing stretch with a brilliant short game display.

The Australian finished with a 69 for a four-under-par total to pip Park, who was round in 67, by a stroke. Stewart placed third, a further seven shots back.

"It feels great to have finally pulled it off," said Barr, who lost a ball with his tee shot at the par-5 sixth on his way to an eight, which put him back level with Park, who birdied the hole. "I said I was going to attack the course today, which was what I did, but it backfired on me with the triple bogey. It threw the tournament wide open, but I composed myself and was able to play nicely down the back nine to get it done. I'm a happy man."
