Spain's Rafael Cabrera Bello overcame an eight-shot overnight deficit to win his first European Tour title at the Austrian Open on Sunday thanks to a blistering final round of 60.
The 25-year-old beat England's Benn Barham, who had led over the first three days, by a shot.
He even came close to recording the first round of 59 on the European Tour when he putted for a 30-foot eagle before settling for a birdie instead. Victory was Cabrera Bello's when Barham failed with his birdie attempt.
"It's amazing. I played the best golf of my life. I can't believe it," said Cabrera Bello, who had never scored lower than 64 on The European Tour.
He is just the 13th player to shoot 60 on the tour and only the third to achieve it on the final day and win.
"I was so far back I wasn't thinking about winning. I just tried to play a shot at a time and today it worked out really, really good."
A hat-trick of birdies from the third and then four in a row from the eighth brought him into the joint lead with Barham who did not manage a single birdie in his first ten holes.
Needing to win to secure his card for next season, Barham still had a good chance when he made a 12 footer on the 16th, but a drive into the rough at the last was a costly error.
Ryder Cup Dane Soren Hansen finished third for the second week running, while England's Richard Bland returned a 66 to move into fourth spot.
