The Swedish golfer Alex Noren won the Wales Open by two strokes to claim his second European Tour victory, while New Zealand's Danny Lee carded a top 20 finish.
Lee was 19th equal after a final round one under par 70 left him 10 strokes behind Noren on 19 under.
The second and third-round leader was never really threatened, Noren closing with a one under 70 for a nine under total, two better than Dane Anders Hansen and Frenchman Gregory Bourdy.
The other New Zealander in the field, Mark Brown, shot a two over 73 to finish well down the leaderboard in a share of 41st, 15 strokes off the pace.
Although Noren hardly got into top gear over the first nine holes in soaking conditions at Celtic Manor's 2010 Ryder Cup course, his rivals never looked like catching him.
Noren will hope to emulate the feat of Northern Irishman Graeme McDowell who won in Wales last year and went on to clinch the US Open at Pebble Beach.
After his calamitous 81 of Sunday, McDowell finished well down the field in Wales, 12 shots behind the winner.
Sweden's 2010 Ryder Cup player Peter Hanson tied for fourth place, three behind Noren, along with compatriot Johan Edfors, Argentine Ricardo Gonzalez and Spaniard Pablo Larrazabal.
