England's Richard Mansell won the Porsche Singapore Classic to claim his maiden DP World Tour title.
The 29-year-old, who made his European Tour debut in 2021, was one shot off the lead going into the final round of a tournament reduced to 54 holes after Thursday's washout.
He moved into the lead with five birdies in a row from the fourth hole, then held off the challenge of Japan's Keita Nakajima to win by one stroke at Laguna National Golf Resort Club.
Mansell two-putted from more than 100 feet for a birdie at the 18th to card a six-under-par round of 66 and finish on 16 under overall.
"I've just had to really, really stay patient and forget everyone else. That was my main thing today – to focus on myself," he said.
"It makes those near-misses and when I've got ahead of myself in the past just kind of worth it. It just means that much more.
"In 2022 I had quite a few close calls and didn't get it done.
"Looking back on it, I probably should have kept doing what I was doing and it probably would have happened a lot sooner.
"But I went searching, I tried to change and I became quite good at pointing the finger, blaming other people why it hadn't happened.
"I started just not enjoying it as much and I just got a little bit lost from where I'd actually come from.
"It's taken a lot of work these past six months. Ellie, my wife, has been so supportive. So many people have supported me and believed in me when I stopped doing it myself."
Nakajima, who shot six birdies in his 65, finished one stroke ahead of Northern Ireland's Tom McKibbin – playing his first DP Tour event since switching to LIV Golf – and France's Adrien Saddier, who both went round in 68.
