On the final day of the Hong Kong Open (total prize money $1 million) held on the 12th at Hong Kong Golf Club in Fanling, Hong Kong (par 70, 6,710 yards), he added a 4-under-par round to secure a commanding 4-stroke victory (17-under-par 263).

This is his third career win in 2 years and 2 months, with a winner's prize of $180,000 (210 million KRW).

World No. 19 Shane Lowry (Ireland) fired a 6-under-par round to finish second (13-under-par 267). His storming performance included an eagle on the 13th hole (par 5), five birdies, and one bogey. Last year's money leader Jazz Janewattananond (Thailand) finished fourth (11-under-par 269).
