The 30-year-old posted a six-under 66 at Natadola Bay golf club to finish on 14 under, with a penultimate-hole eagle lifting him ahead of nearest challenger Anthony Quayle.

Quayle had fired a back-nine 29 to close a round-of-the-day 63 and set the clubhouse target, only for overnight leader Bhullar to edge back ahead and become the sixth Indian winner on the European Tour.

Ernie Els posted his best worldwide finish since 2013, with a final-round 65 lifting the South African into a share of third on 12 under alongside New Zealand's Ben Campbell.
