Recap

Wu, Lombard and Otaegui played together in the final round of this year's Lyoness Open, with the Chinese star striking the first blow, as he birdied the opening hole.

Lombard and Otaegui could only make par, which was surprising given the relatively easy nature of the first hole―no less than 30 players picked up a birdie on Saturday.

Meanwhile, McEvoy was making up ground fast, picking up three birdies through his first five holes. The European Tour's official Twitter account shared this highlight of one of his approaches:

Light rain made things difficult on the players, and of the top contenders, no one struggled more than overnight leader Lombard. The youngster shot 36 through the front nine, the worst score of any of the title favourites, and at the turn, things were close at the top of the leaderboard.

Wu grabbed sole possession of the lead shortly before bogeying the fifth hole, but back-to-back birdies to close out the front nine put him in an excellent position.

McEvoy was flawless through the front nine, shooting a three-under 33, while Otaegui made two birdies without dropping any shots. Compatriot Pablo Larrazabal backed the Spaniard to grab the win:

Wu kept making mistakes, opening his back nine with a double-bogey and a bogey, while McEvoy came agonisingly close to making eagle on the 13th but saw his putt fall just short, settling for birdie and the lead.

Lombard hit back with an excellent birdie putt on the same hole and Otaegui somehow saved par despite a bunker shot, as the battle at the top continued. Wu followed Lombard's lead, moving level with McEvoy.

Here's a look at the putt:

The weather deteriorated as the end of the round drew near, but play continued. Lombard was the first of the favourites to flinch, missing a difficult bogey putt on the 14th hole and falling down the board as a result.

A fantastic approach for the 15th that was nearly holed gave Wu a chance at birdie and a one-shot lead, with three holes to play.

McEvoy missed a birdie putt from seven feet out to tie Wu for the lead, but Otaegui recorded his second birdie in a row, tying things up once again.

Wu had a poor tee shot on 17, but he recovered well to make par, while Otaegui recorded his first bogey of the day. On the final hole, Otaegui had a chance for birdie with a 20-foot putt but came up short, and Wu didn't make any mistakes from four feet out, winning his second major European Tour event after last year's Volvo China Open.

The next tournament on the golf calendar is the U.S. Open, the second major on the schedule, before the European Tour hopefuls head for Germany for the BMW International Open.
