SHENZHEN, China — Adrian Otaegui has overturned a five-shot deficit to win the China Open for the Spanish golfer's fifth tour title. Otaegui had been trailing the in-form Sebastian Söderberg and he shot 7-under 65 in his final round to win by one shot from Guido Migliozzi, who finished runner up with a 67. The No. 143-ranked Otaegui stayed flawless and holed seven birdies to finish at 18 under par overall. He earned a spot in the PGA Championship later this month. Söderberg finished in a tie for third after starting with a bogey. The Swedish player holed four birdies but was undone by another bogey on the 15th hole and a double-bogey for par in the final round. Söderberg finished alongside Englishman Paul Waring and Switzerland's Joel Girrbach at 16 under.
