Luiten and Muto take titles

Dutchman Joost Luiten claimed a maiden European Tour title with a one-shot victory from Daniel Chopra at the Iskandar Johor Open.

Trailing overnight leader Chopra by four shots at the start of the day, Luiten compiled a six-under-par 65 to fend off the Swede with a winning score of 15 under par.

After the tournament had been reduced to 54 holes due to rain at Horizon Hills Golf and Country Club, Chopra could only produce a final round of 70 and needed a birdie at the last to ensure he finished alone in second on 14 under.

Padraig Harrington, James Morrison and Rhys Davies ended in a tie for third on 13 under. Harrington and Morrison both signed for closing 69s while Davies carded an impressive 65 to climb the leaderboard.

Toshinori Muto produced a stunning final round of 63 to win the Dunlop Phoenix 2011 by four strokes from Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano.

After yesterday’s play was washed out, reducing the tournament to 54 holes, Muto carded six birdies over the front nine at Phoenix Country Club to reach the turn in 30

He then picked up three more shots on the way back with a bogey at the last the only blemish on his round to finish with a winning score of 12 under par.

Overnight leader Fernandez-Castano, meanwhile, returned an even-par 71 that featured just one birdie and bogey to end the tournament eight-under.

Fernandez-Castano took victory at the Singapore Open a week ago, and his place in the top 50 will earn him a Masters debut if he can stay there for another month.

Ireland’s Shane Lowry finished in a tie for third with Ricky Barnes on seven under par after posting a 68. Barnes, meanwhile, also signed for a 68.
