Australian Marcus Fraser broke a seven-year title drought with a wire-to-wire victory by four strokes at the weather-shortened Ballantine's Championship on Jeju Island on Sunday.
The 31-year-old, who held a one-stroke lead after the chaotic first two rounds, dropped only his second shot of the week on the final hole for a three-under-par 69 to win his first European Tour title since his maiden triumph at the 2003 Russian Open.
Northern Irishman Gareth Maybin also dropped a shot at the last for a round of par 72 to share second with Fraser's compatriot Brett Rumford, whose 71 also put him at eight-under.
The $2.9 million tournament, also sanctioned by the Asian Tour, had been reduced to three rounds after six hours of the first day's play were lost to heavy fog.
