Todd Clements fired a brilliant final round of 63 to win his maiden DP World Tour title at the D+D Real Czech Masters.
The world No 394 carded nine birdies at Albatross Golf Resort to finish 22 under, a shot ahead of fellow Englishman Matt Wallace.
He needed to birdie the last from eight feet to force a play-off, but saw his putt slip past the edge.
Clements started the day three shots off the lead shared by Wallace and Sami Valimaki, but made a flying start with birdies on the first three holes and carded another hat-trick from the sixth.
The 26-year-old then birdied the 11th, 12th and 13th to briefly open up a three-shot lead.

‘That’s got to be the best round of my life,’ said Clements. ‘I know I can compete at this level. I’ve always believed it deep down and to show it, I’m very proud of myself.’
The penultimate qualifying event for the Ryder Cup saw several contenders put in strong performances, Robert MacIntyre’s share of fourth tightening his grip on the final place on the European Points list.
Only five players — Yannik Paul, Adrian Meronk, Victor Perez, Rasmus Hojgaard and Adrian Otaegui — can pass the Scot in the final event in Switzerland.
US captain Zach Johnson names his six wildcards for the event tomorrow.
