Min Woo Lee held his nerve to win his first European Tour title and emulate his sister at the ISPS Handa Vic Open.

The 21-year-old Australian fought off a strong challenge from New Zealander Ryan Fox to win by two shots in Geelong.

Fox carded a remarkable closing 64 in the high winds to set a testing clubhouse target, but Lee signed for a 68 to follow in the footsteps of sister Minjee at the Beach Course Club.

The elder sibling won the women's event as an amateur in 2014 and lifted the trophy again as a professional in 2018.

"My sister and I winning the same tournament, it's pretty special," Lee told the European Tour's website.

"I've got bragging rights now so it's even better.

"It's awesome. Vic Open, it's the home open. Especially as it's the European Tour, it's big."

Lee entered the day with a three-shot lead and was boosted by chipping in for a birdie at the first.

Fox's charge put him under pressure and a bogey at the 17th meant he only took a one-shot lead down the last.

But he birdied the par-five 18th to finish at 19 under. Runner-up Fox was three shots clear of Australian pair Marcus Fraser and Travis Smyth and Frenchman Robin Sciot-Siegrist, who tied for third.

England's Sam Horsfield finished in a tie for seventh with a closing 67.

Park Hee-young beat fellow South Korean Choi Hye-jin at the fourth play-off hole to win the women's trophy.
