Hebert took the lead with a birdie on the second hole, but Otaegui drew level on the fourth before three birdies in a row from holes six to eight sealed the tournament win for the 25-year-old.

Otaegui's previous tour victory was the Saltire Energy Paul Lawrie Match Play in August last year, and he has now had six top 20 finishes in a row in this season's Race to Dubai.

Scotland's David Drysdale (-1) claimed third place in Antwerp after he beat James Heath (par) from England in a playoff.
