Taipei (AFP) - Shaun Norris overcame swirling winds with a four-under-par 68 to win the weather-shortened Yeangder Tournament Players Championship by two shots on Sunday, pipping overnight leader Miguel Tabuena.

The 33-year-old Asian Tour rookie from South Africa shot five birdies in his opening seven holes and finished with a winning total of 12-under-par 204, after Friday's second round was washed out by rain.
