Shanghai (AFP) - China's Wu Ashun shot a one-under par 71 on Sunday to break a logjam at the top of the leaderboard and secure an historic victory in the Volvo China Open in Shanghai.

Wu, who recorded a four-day total of 279, or nine under par, became the first Chinese player to win a European Tour event held in China.
