Wu Ashun eases to four-shot victory in Kenya

Wu Ashun cruised to victory at the Magical Kenya Open as a closing 65 gave him an emphatic four-shot win in Nairobi.

Scot Ewen Ferguson entered the final day with a four-shot lead of his own but as he stumbled to a 76 and a tie for eighth, China's Wu was a picture of consistency in picking up his fourth DP World Tour title.

The 36-year-old bogeyed the second but birdied the fourth and another gain on a par-five at the seventh started a run of four birdies in a row.

That gave him a two-shot advantage and with nearest challengers Aaron Cockerill, Thriston Lawrence and Hurly Long completing their rounds at 12 under, Wu knew exactly what he needed to do over the closing holes, with birdies on the 17th and 18th merely putting gloss on his victory as he finished at 16 under.

England's David Horsey finished five shots off the lead, one clear of countryman Daniel Gavins and two ahead of Ferguson and Welshman Stuart Manley.

Niall Kearney was best of the Irish on five under after a 69. A 70 from Paul Dunne saw him finish on one under. Jonathan Caldwell's 73 had him on three over, while Cormac Sharvin finished six over after a 70.
