England's Simon Dyson shot a final-round 67 to capture his first European Tour title at the Enjoy Jakarta HSBC Indonesia Open on Sunday.

Dyson seized on joint-overnight leader Andrew Buckle's eight at the par-four sixth hole, which turned a one-shot lead into a three-shot deficit.

Dyson eagled the next hole and held on to claim victory on 20 under.

Australian Buckle was two shots back, with Taiwan's Ter-Chang Wang and Thai Thongchai Jaidee joint third on -14.

A thunderstorm caused play to be suspended for two hours, giving Buckle time to gather his thoughts after his aberration at the sixth.

But he missed a seven-foot putt on the 15th which looked to be a turning point and gave Dyson breathing space.

After his eagle, Dyson picked up only one more shot - a superlative 15-foot putt at the 17th.

With two shots to make up, Buckle had to force the issue and matched his opponent with a birdie at 17.

But he tried too hard at 18th by shooting over the green, confirming Dyson as the winner.

The rain break did me no favours and I struggled for the next three holes, but I kept plodding away

And the 28-year-old was delighted to break his European tour duck.

Referring to the rain interruption, he said: "I was hoping we'd finish today and not have to come back on Monday, given the way I played the first nine holes.

"The break did me no favours and I struggled for the next three holes, but I kept plodding away.

"All credit to Andrew, anyone shooting an eight could have gone, but he showed a lot of guts to hang in there and he kept throwing birdies at me."

The pair were in a league of their own on the last round, having started three shots clear of Wang.

Jaidee's late surge and a birdie at the last from Wang pulled them a little closer to the top two but in the end they had to settle for third.

Two players were tied on 13 under - Australian duo Matthew Millar and Scott Strange.

And Wales' Stephen Dodd, who led after the end of the second round, was unable to take that form into the weekend, and had to settle for nine under.
