The 21-year-old struck six birdies in an impressive display at Trinity Forest Golf Club to finish three strokes clear of Marc Leishman, on a day where play was delayed by four hours due to bad weather.

Branden Grace fired a round-of-the-day 62 to share third spot with J.J Spaun and Keith Mitchell, who both posted closing 63s, with Jimmy Walker a further two strokes back in sixth spot.

"It's a dream come true to win this one," Wise said. "I felt oddly calm all day long and to pull it off and play as good as I did was awesome."

Wise, beginning the day tied for the lead, was handed the outright advantage when Leishman three-putted the second and increased his cushion by holing a 10-footer at the fourth.

Leishman responded by driving the par-four fifth green and making an eagle, as Wise posted a six-foot birdie, before the pair posted matching back-to-back gains from the seventh.

Wise continued his birdie run by picking up shots at the ninth and 10th, while Leishman opened his back nine with a bogey to slip down the leaderboard.
