Volvo China Open winner Damien McGrane insists his maiden victory on the European Tour will not cause him to change the way he plays.
The Irishman has been searching for his first win during six seasons on the circuit but he finally broke his duck with an emphatic nine-stroke victory at the Beijing CBD International Golf Club on Sunday.
"I will try and stick with my plan," said the 37-year-old. "I know what I want to do and try to achieve and I won't change what I do.
"I haven't done in the past with or without success and I am not going to change now."
With the heavy rain and wind playing havoc with many of the players' scoring during the final round, McGrane adapted well to card two birdies and only three bogeys for a one-over-par 73.
"My short game this week has been excellent and I knew that if the weather turned everybody would have to rely on their short game," he added.
"It was one of those days that everyone had to knuckle down and do the best they could, it was extremely difficult.
"My putting was good and you needed that for pars never mind birdies - it went my way.
"The weather helped stop other players making a charge at my lead so once I had made as many pars as possible I knew that the tournament was mine."
Asian Tour regular Simon Griffiths also adapted well to the conditions to climb the leaderboard and finish in a share of second place with fellow Englishman Oliver Wilson and Michael Lorenzo-Vera of France.
Griffiths carded only two bogeys on the front nine and then made two birdies against two bogeys coming home to finish with a two-over-par 74.
"I knew the scores would be high out there," said Griffiths. "I woke up in the morning and saw the grey skies and it was going to be difficult for everyone.
"You just have to try your best and luckily I hit the ball good off the tee and I got half-decent scores."
Mark Brown carded a costly triple bogey on the 18th to throw away a potential second-place finish and returned to the clubhouse tied for third.
The New Zealander had been steady throughout his round, dropping only two shots but that all went to waste on the last hole as he finished alongside last year's champion Markus Brier and Graeme McDowell.
David Howell was unable to follow up his impressive second-place finish at the Portuguese Open two weeks ago as he carded a seven-over-par 79 to finished tied for 28th overall.
