Sweden's Ludvig Aberg won the Omega European Masters in just his ninth event as a professional to make a hugely compelling case for a Ryder Cup wild card.
Aberg, who only joined the paid ranks in June, carded a superb closing 64 at Crans-sur-Sierre to finish 19-under-par, two shots ahead of compatriot Alexander Bjork.
Overnight leader Matt Fitzpatrick, who was bidding to join Seve Ballesteros as a three-time winner of the event, bogeyed three of the last four holes to slip into a tie for third with Scotland's Connor Syme on 16-under.
That was still enough to replace Tommy Fleetwood in the final qualifying place on the World Points list, with Scotland's Robert MacIntyre holding on to the last spot on the European Points list.
Europe captain Luke Donald will name his six wild cards on Monday and it would be a major surprise if Aberg was not selected along with Fleetwood, Justin Rose and Shane Lowry, with Sepp Straka, Adrian Meronk and Nicolai Hojgaard potentially battling it out for the two remaining spots.
"I don't even know where to start, it's a pretty surreal feeling to be honest, but obviously super, super happy," the 23-year-old said.
"I figured a win would put me in a good position (for the Ryder Cup) but honestly I've been doing a pretty good job of not thinking about it too much.
"I feel like I get reminded of it a lot, but once I get on the golf course it's just me and golf and luckily I was able to finish well today and win the tournament.
"It would mean the world obviously. I think as a young golfer growing up in Sweden and in Europe those are the events you want to be a part of and if I ever get the chance to be a part of that I'm going to be over the moon. It would be really cool."
Padraig Harrington signed off with an excellent 65 to finish just seven shots off the winner on 12-under, but it was Tom McKibbin who carded the round of the day. The 20-year-old Holywood man shot 11 birdies in a sizzling eight-under 62 to storm up the leaderboard and sign off on 10-under overall.
A final-round level-par 70 left Cork's John Murphy even par and in a tie for 63rd.
