Scott Rowe, who turned professional last July, won Hong Kong's biggest golfing prize when he captured the 17th Korean Maekyung LG Fashion Open in Seoul.
Scott became the first Hong Kong golfer to win an event on the Asia-Pacific Golf Confederation's Asian Tour following his 54-hole aggregate of 12-under-par 204.
The 23-year-old Chicago-based golfer finished four shots clear of Korean Steve Kwon Young-suk over the 7,052-yard West Course at the Lakeside Country Club.
'I can't believe I have done this,' said Scott, who comes from a distinguished golfing family, and who won first prize of US$42,402 (HK$326,495).
By winning the Seoul event, Rowe rose to fourth place in the Asian Tour's final Order of Merit.
Scott also became the circuit's Rookie of the Year ensuring him a two-year exemption on the Tour.
