Shubhankar Sharma carded a stunning closing 62 to win his second European Tour title of the season at the Maybank Championship.
The Indian claimed his first victory in just his tenth event at the Joburg Open in December and made it two at Saujana Golf & Country Club as his bogey-free finish got him to -21.

Spaniard Jorge Campillo finished two shots back after firing a 68, a shot clear of Ryan Fox and Pablo Larrazábal.
The win takes Sharma to the top of the Race to Dubai Rankings and he becomes just the third Indian after Jeev Milkha Singh and Anirban Lahiri to win two European Tour events in the same season.

"I played pretty solid and it wasn’t easy because it was windy," he said. "I kept pushing the whole day. I knew I had to make a lot birdies to catch the leaders. I made a lot of birdies on the front nine and just continued on the back."
Next week the tour swings down to western Australia for the ISPS Handa World Super 6 before heading back to the Middle East for events in Oman and Qatar.
