Recap

Noren was in superb form over the front nine. He started his day with three-straight birdies, before a par on the fourth slowed him only slightly.

The Swede soon rallied, though, and did it in style. Noren became the outright leader after sinking consecutive birdies, first at the par-three seventh, then on the par-four eighth.

The European Tour relayed highlights of those clutch shots:

He soon erased any doubts he would lose momentum on the back nine by starting with a spectacular eagle at the par-five 10th:

Another birdie on the 11th continued Noren's dominance of the course. He was now three shots ahead and had virtually written his name on the trophy.

Not even a bogey at the par-five 14th could disrupt Noren. He simply bounced back to make par, before sinking yet another birdie, this one on the par-three 16th.

While Noren was pressing ahead, Wang was having a nightmare round. A double bogey at the eighth was a sure sign the previous day's leader was losing his grip.

However, it was a run of three bogeys over four holes, starting on the par-four 13th, that really dented the South Korean's chances of winning. He'd begun the day with a three-shot lead after hitting a 64 on Saturday, per BBC Sport, but Wang had left himself too much to do, even after matching Noren's par at the 17th.

Another par sealed the title for Noren:

It was a worthy triumph for the Swede, after he'd played some spectacular golf to erase Wang's lead. However, the South Korean player will bemoan his mistakes when the pressure was on during the final day.
