SUZHOU, China, Oct. 22 (Xinhua) -- Kieran Muir captured his second China Tour title on Sunday as the New Zealander birdied three of the final four holes to win the Mitsubishi Electric FA Golf Open in Jiangsu Province by one stroke.

The Kiwi took advantage of a late collapse by China's Ye Jianfeng (72) who led for much of the final round at Suzhou Taihu International Golf Club to card a one-under 71. His winning score of 11-under 277 was worth 90,000 yuan.
