Three late birdies helped Luiten to win by three strokes on 19 under and emulate his 2013 victory.

Under pressure to land his first title for almost two years, Luiten made 10 birdies in a sensational round.

"It was one of those days where everything I looked at went in the hole. People talk about the zone, and I think I was in it today. I missed one shot when I went in the water on 13 but besides that I didn't do much wrong," he said.

"These are the kind of days that make it all worth getting out of bed for."
