The winner carded a six-under par round of 66, hitting a magnificent approach on the 18th to edge out Jaco van Zyl. 

Van Zyl finished in second place with his round of 67, leaving him one shot back, as McIlroy carded a disappointing one under to fall out of contention.

Dubuisson Emotional After Dramatic Win

Dubuisson and Van Zyl were the overnight leaders after Saturday's third round, and both largely maintained their form during the final day.

Dubuisson was electric on the opening holes, grabbing three birdies in the first four, but an unexpected double bogey halted his progress at the fifth. 

A further blip on the seventh saw the Frenchman post another bogey on his card, but he recovered on the ninth for a birdie to end his front nine in a credible 34. 

An eagle on 11 saw the Frenchman hoist himself back into contention, before birdies on 15 and 17 swept him to victory.

The European Tour shared Dubuisson's success on the 17th hole:

Van Zyl's score of 70 on Saturday had damaged his challenge, despite tying at the summit of the leaderboard, but he stepped up his charge on the final day.

Four birdies on his front nine were punctured by a bogey on the eighth, but the player looked in good shape as he approached the second half of his round.

Van Zyl traded punches with the eventual winner down the back nine, but he was blown away by Dubuisson's approach on the final hole.

The Frenchman had two putts for the title, and he took both shots to claim victory.

Dubuisson broke down in tears after the final hole, having produced a wonderful display of putting over the four days. He was clearly affected by his win, stating, per EuropeanTour.com:

"

It's so hard because there were so many personal reasons why I didn't play that much this year. It's not because I didn't want to play.

I was really counting on this Final Series to give me some confidence back because I completely lost it a few months ago. I was just missing everything.

Then I settled down and it was all about the putting.

"

This is the second time he has won this competition, and his consistency dragged him over the line at the final hurdle.

His guile on the final hole was the difference between himself and Van Zyl, displaying attacking prowess and bravery just when he needed it most.
