Shenzhen International 2016: Final Leaderboard Scores, Prize Money Payouts

Rory MarsdenApr 24, 2016

South Korea's Soomin Lee claimed his maiden European Tour title as he won the 2016 Shenzhen International by two shots in China on Monday.

Numerous delays due to electrical storms and heavy rain throughout the tournament saw play suspended on Sunday with Lee tied for the lead five holes from home with Lee Slattery and Alexander Levy.

When play got back under way after another delay due to fog on Monday morning, Lee, 22, broke away from the leading pack and wrapped up the title in impressive fashion, finishing 16-under par for the tournament.

Monday Recap 

Upon resumption on Monday morning, Lee's playing partner Levy missed a birdie putt on the 13th to take the outright lead.

With four holes remaining it was still very tight at the top with three players in a share of the lead, and they were soon joined by Brandon Stone when he birdied the 15th, per the European Tour:

Lee edged one shot ahead of the pack as he rolled in a beautifully weighted 12-footer for birdie at the 16, and England's Slattery fell away as a challenger as he made bogey at 15.

A quite brilliant eagle at 17 then effectively sealed the victory for Lee as Levy found the water and shot a six at the par five.

The young Korean showed great courage and skill to hit the green in two on the 17th with a magnificent approach, and he then rolled in his eagle putt to take a three-shot lead heading to the final tee, per the European Tour:

A slightly nervy finish saw him pull his drive on the par-four 18th, and he was forced to lay up having missed the fairway.

But a bogey-five proved enough for Lee to seal victory in China and put to bed the ghosts of February's Maybank Championship Malaysia, where two double-bogeys in the last three holes of his final round saw him squander his chance for a first triumph on the European Tour.

Joost Luiten and Stone finished tied for second having shot final rounds of 68, while world No. 4 Bubba Watson carded a six-under 66 to tie for eighth place.

The European Tour now moves to Topwin Golf and Country Club for the China Open, which begins on Thursday.
