22 year old South Korean Soomin Lee returned to the Genson GC Monday morning with 5 holes left to play in a three way tie for the lead and he promptly made a birdie on the 16th followed by a thirty foot putt for an eagle on the 17th for a closing 71 -16 total.
Those two scores were enough to give him a two-shot victory in only his sixth professional event, over in form Dutchman Joost Luiten (68) and South African Brandon Stone (68). Luiten has 6 top 10's in his last 9 starts this year.
Earlier this year at the Maybank Championship Malaysia, Lee came into the final round with a three-shot lead but made two double-bogeys in his last three holes to finish in a share of second.
This long week was dominated by poor weather. Over nine hours of play were lost on the first four days due to lightning and heavy rain, resulting in the first Monday finish at a regular European Tour event since the 2011 Singapore Open and the fog delayed the start for another hour this morning.
