Santiago - Dawie van der Walt won the Chile Classic on Sunday for his first Web.com Tour title, closing with a birdie for a 6-under 65 and a two-stroke victory.

The 32-year-old South African finished at 21-under 263 at Mapocho and earned $108 000. He won two European Tour events in South Africa in 2013.

"It's very sweet," van der Walt said. "It's been a long time coming... it was a combination of things. I hit a lot of shots close. Sometimes you hit good shots and they just don't end up close. I hit my irons really good and a lot of them were close this week."
