Australian Wade Ormsby shot a 4-under 66 to win the Hong Kong Open by four strokes on Sunday. Ormsby, who has led throughout, remained top with six birdies against a pair of bogeys for 17-under 263 overall. Shane Lowry had an eagle, five birdies and a bogey for the day's lowest score of 64 that left him four strokes behind 2017 champion Ormsby.

Thailand’s Gunn Charoenkul, who started the final round in second place, shot a 69 to finish in sole possession of third place at 12-under 268. Gunn's compatriot Jazz Janewattananond (68) was a further stroke back followed by American Tony Finau (67) who finished fifth after a double bogey on the par-4 18th.

The tournament began on Thursday after a six-week delay because of anti-government protests. It was originally scheduled for November in the semi-autonomous Chinese territory that has seen more than six months of anti-government demonstrations.
