After a favourable ruling granting him line-of-sight relief from a TV booth at the final hole, Wiesberger hoisted his approach shot over a tree to four feet for an unlikely closing birdie.

He carded six-under-par 65, his only blemish a three-putt bogey at the penultimate hole at the Renaissance Club.

In search of his sixth European Tour, the Austrian posted a 20-under 193 total with one round remaining.
