Australia's Kurt Barnes won the SK Telecom Open by one shot from South Korea's Kim Kyung-Tae after Sunday's final round was cancelled due to fog at Pinx Golf Club. Big-hitting Barnes was a doubt to even start the OneAsia event due to a shoulder injury, but the 29-year-old made a key up-and-down for par at the end of Saturday's third round to sign for a five-under-par 67 to top the leaderboard at 14 under. Barnes's one shot overnight lead never came under threat as the final round was cancelled after only seven minutes of play was possible following an initial delay of over four hours. "It's unbelievable. On Tuesday I probably wasn't even going to play. It's unlucky because I was looking forward to going head-to-head with Kyung-Tae, but the delay has played in my favour and the fog hung around and I am the 2011 champion," said Barnes. "It means a massive amount to me. On Tuesday afternoon I was really considering pulling out and I went to some big lengths to try and play because I had a tour caddie on the bag." After beginning the week with a 71, Barnes blazed a course record-equalling 64 during Friday's second round to storm into contention. After carding six birdies against one bogey during his third round, the key moment arrived on the final hole on Saturday as Barnes played a superb chip over a greenside bunker following a wayward approach before holing a tricky four foot downhill putt. "I now hope that this is a new beginning. I made a bet with a mate back in January that if I won a main tour event this year he would get a tattoo, so I will be sending him a text to let him know," added Barnes. In-form Kim Kyung-Tae said: "I played well again this week and I was feeling very good and confident as I have been playing well recently, but I did not have any luck with the weather." After holding a one-shot lead after two rounds, 2009 champion Park Sang-Hyun of Korea could only manage a third round 72 to finish third four shots off the pace. Australia's Ashley Hall claimed fourth a further two shots adrift with Korea's Jung Ji-Ho fifth at seven-under-par.
