He took a two-shot lead into the final round and birdies at the first, second and sixth sealed a fine display of front-running.
The 33-year-old Olesen cruised home with a bogey-free 66 putting him 24-under for the tournament, well clear of Germany’s Yannick Paul who finished on 20-under after a final round 68 at the Amata Spring Country Club on Sunday.
“I had some good chances to make birdies but I didn’t capitalize on them,” Olesen said.
“Then it was a bonus to make birdies on two tough holes. It made me feel a little more comfortable. I felt steady and felt in control.”
"After all the hard work and sacrifice."

The win marked his first title in Asia and is his first since the British Masters in May 2022.
Germany’s Alexander Knappe had a dazzling performance on the back nine where he managed seven birdies. He finished with a 67 for 270 to finish joint-third, along with Dutchman Joost Luiten (69), a further two shots back from Paul.
