Revenge for Hend

Big-hitting Australian made it two wins in three years at the Venetian Macao Open after trumping 2014 champion Anirban Lahiri

India's Chiragh Kumar made sure of retaining his playing rights on the Asian Tour in 2016 by finishing in a tie for second

Kumar made a vital last hole birdie to tie for second place, with the runner-up cheque of US$86,500 securing his card for next year. “Honestly, on this course and with Scott’s length, it would have been tough to catch him. I did get off to a good start [with a birdie and eagle] and had I made one or two more putts early on, I would have put some pressure. He played really good,” said Kumar.

American Brett Munson finished fourth on 270 while Irishman Niall Turner settled for fifth position on 272.
