The 25 year old had a scare with a bogey at the 17th, and wayward shots from the tee and with his second on the 18th provided late drama, but a three under par 69 was good enough to finish clear of Germany’s Marcel Siem, who signed for a 70, and Spaniard Jorge Campillo, who had a 67.
Australian Marcus Fraser and Spain’s José Manuel Lara shared fourth place in the event, which is tri-sanctioned by The European Tour, the Asian Tour and the Professional Golf Tour of India.
“I’m just very relieved,” said the diminutive Kruger, who wins €300,000. “It’s a big relief now that I’ve won, but I think I needed all those second place finishes to be able to appreciate it. There was no pressure, even when I made my only bogey of the day on the 17th.”
