ATZENBRUGG, Austria, July 28 (UPI) -- Bernd Wiesberger birdied seven of his last 10 holes Saturday and stormed to a 3-shot victory at the Lyoness Open in Austria.

Wiesberger began his streak with a birdie on the par-3 ninth hole and wrapped it up with bird on 18 to finish with a 65 for the round and go 19-under 269 for the tournament.

"I think this is going to be the best day of my life," Wiesberger said after wrapping up his second European Tour victory of the season. "It's amazing to win in front of the home crowd."
