A closing 71 gave Yang victory in the 2.5-million-dollar event, ahead of Welshmen Rhys Davies, who hit a final round 67, and 2004 champion Stephen Dodd, who carded a 69. In wet and windy weather, the 38-year-old Yang recorded his only bogey of the weekend at the testing 18th to post a 15-under total of 273 at the Suzhou Jinji Lake International Golf Club. Yang's first win since his breakthrough Major win last year was followed by jubilant scenes when fellow Korean players ran on to the 18th green to celebrate the victory of their friend and mentor. "It's a great feeling to win the Volvo China Open. I love this country and have a special feeling when I come here," said Yang, who won 416,660 dollars. "It rained a lot, so it was very special that so many Chinese golf fans came out to support me. It really feels great to win in front of them. Suzhou and China are definitely special to me and I feel really good right now." Yang, who plans to open a golf academy in China, made his name in the country by beating Tiger Woods to win the 2006 HSBC Champions in nearby Shanghai. "I was really happy with my concentration and form and I played well from the bunkers today in pretty bad weather," said the Texas-based Korean, who finished joint eighth at the Masters last week. "It was a long journey from Augusta earlier in the week and I'm a bit tired after a long week. I have blisters and I can assure you it's not from too much sun." Jamie Donaldson (73), another Welshman, Finland's Mikko Ilonen (73) and Sweden's Johan Edfors (69) shared fourth on 12-under, one ahead of England's Oliver Fisher (69). Kim Do-Hoon of South Korea continued his recent run of form, shooting 72 to finish 10-under alongside the likes of Thailand's Thongchai Jaidee and Sweden's Henrik Stenson, who both shot 69s. US Ryder Cup captain Corey Pavin shot 70 to finish 16th on eight-under, seven ahead of European counterpart Colin Montgomerie. Chinese number one Liang Wenchong, the winner at Luxehills, tied for 17th on seven-under after a 72. The China Open is co-sanctioned by OneAsia and the European Tour. The next OneAsia event is the GS Caltex Maekyung Open at the Namseoul Country Club in Seoul from May 6-9.
