China's Wu wins Kenya Open, SA's Lawrence shares second spot

Wu Ashun enhanced his record as the DP World Tour's most successful Chinese golfer as he became a four-time winner with victory at the Kenya Open.

The 36-year-old entered the final day at Muthaiga Golf Club four shots off the lead but never looked back after making four birdies in a row from the seventh, signing for a closing 65 and a 16 under par total.

South African Thriston Lawrence, Canadian Aaron Cockerill and German Hurly Long finished four shots back but Wu's victory rarely looked in doubt on the back nine as he became the sixth different winner from a sixth different country on the 2022 DP World Tour.Wu became the third Chinese winner in DP World Tour (formerly known as European Tour) history when he won the 2015 China Open and since then he has added wins in Austria and the Netherlands, with this win moving him two victories ahead of countryman Li Haotong.A two-time winner on the Japan Golf Tour, he will move up to sixth on the Race to Dubai Rankings after triumphing in his 158th appearance with his wife and 13-week-old baby watching on in Nairobi.

"It's a big celebration, I'm so happy with my family here," he told europeantour.com.

"It's a very, very good feeling today to win a championship. It was very tough today, I played very, very well today and made seven birdies.

"After two rounds I told myself if I can make five under every day on the weekend and finish 15 under, I think I'll have a chance to win the tournament.
