Nicolai von Dellingshausen earned his maiden DP World Tour title after producing a brilliant burst of scoring around the turn on Sunday to win the Austrian Alpine Open by two shots.
The German started the day one shot off the lead but found himself three in front after 10 holes thanks to a birdie-eagle-birdie run from the eighth.
He had to overcome some hurdles on the back nine but managed to par his way home to finish the tournament on 19-under-par, two clear of long-time leader Marcel Schneider and last week's winner Kristoffer Reitan, who fired a bogey-free 60 to set a testing clubhouse target.
HotelPlanner Tour graduate Von Dellingshausen said: "I'm trying really hard not to cry. It's been such a tough journey the last two-and-a-half years with losing the card.
"It's all got me to this stage right here and now I'm here!
"Thanks to everyone who came out here and just watched and supported us. It kind of feels like a home tournament for me.
"I love playing in Austria. I always play well when I play here for some reason - must be the food!
"It was just amazing to have so many people coming out here cheering for us."
Ireland's Conor Purcell signed off with a four-under 66, his best round of the tournament, to finish in a tie for 56th on one-under-par.
