Australian Daniel Nisbet has won the New Zealand Open with a storming finish, firing a final round nine-under 62 to snatch a two-stroke win from overnight leader Terry Pilkadaris in Queenstown.
Nisbet hauled back compatriot Pilkadaris, who had held a five-shot lead after three rounds, with a superb back nine which included an eagle at the par-five 10th.
He finished with a course record 27-under 260 across four rounds.
Pilkadaris carded a final round one-under 70 to secure outright second, four strokes ahead of fellow Australians David Bransdon and Callan O'Reilly, and Americans Kurt Kitayama and Jarin Todd.
