South African George Coetzee claimed his fifth European Tour victory with a one-shot win at the Portugal Masters.
The 34-year-old world number 147 began the final day one stroke ahead and carded a five-under 66 for a 16-under total at Dom Pedro Victoria, Vilamoura.
Laurie Canter, the 30-year-old from Bath seeking a maiden title, holed from 35 feet to par the last and a bogey-free 66 gave him a career-best second.
World number 16 Tommy Fleetwood posted seven birdies in a 64 and was third.
Coetzee won his 11th Sunshine Tour event in his native South Africa last week and added a first victory in Europe, his other European Tour titles having come in South Africa and Mauritius.
His tee shot on the 16th pitched just a few inches from the hole and he converted the birdie putt from eight feet to regain the lead, before a superb approach at the next set up another birdie.
