South Afrian Norris wins Myanmar Open by four

Yangon: South Africa’s Shaun Norris kept his composure and shrugged off the challenges of his closest rivals by carding a one-under-par 71 to win the Leopalace21 Myanmar Open on Sunday.

The South African was a bundle of nerves in his front-nine but regained his advantage with a flawless inward-nine which helped clinch his second Asian Tour title by four shots at the Royal Mingalardon Golf and Country Club.

Japan’s Azuma Yano had to settle for second place with Korea’s Junwon Park after he signed off with a 68 at Myanmar’s richest sport event.
