Argentina's Andres Romero rounded off a heady seven days by claiming his maiden European Tour title at the Players Championship on Sunday.
A week after he led the British Open by two shots with two holes to go before finishing third, Romero made no mistake this time, closing with a two-under 70 at Gut Kaden.
His total of 19-under 269 was three strokes better than Denmark's Soren Hansen and Briton Oliver Wilson.
Australian Peter O'Malley finished alone in fourth place on 274 after a final round of 65 with Peter Hanson and Alex Noren a shot further back on 275.
The swashbuckling style of 26-year-old Romero, which in the end cost him dearly at Carnoustie, was again in evidence as he collected three birdies in the first four holes to extend his two-shot overnight margin over the field.
Five shots ahead coming to the turn, though, Romero sent his approach from the rough into the pond at the ninth to double bogey and finally erred on the side of caution to coast home, enhancing his win by holing a 25ft birdie putt on the last.
Hansen, whose 64 was only bettered by Romero's 63 the previous day, set the target, matched by Wilson's 66.
Romero was expected to be given a test by the only man who had really stayed with him in the third round, Briton Zane Scotland, but the Englishman slipped down the finishing field after finding heavy rough on the seventh and triple bogeying.
The €600,000 first prize sees Romero replace compatriot Angel Cabrera, the US Open champion, in fifth place on the European money-list, a climb of 13 places.
With €1 million earned in just a week, Romero, the 15th first-time winner on the European Tour this season, moves into the world's top 30 with this victory.
It rubber-stamped his place in the final major in two weeks' time, the US PGA Championship, and earned him a world golf championship (WGC) debut in next week's Bridgestone Invitational.
Romero was showered in champagne and beer by delighted compatriots after his stunning birdie at the last hole.
"The British Open changed my life last week and this is now a lot to take in," Romero told a news conference through an interpreter.
"The key this week was my putting but after I double bogeyed the ninth I played conservatively.
"I owe a lot to Angel (Cabrera). After he won the US Open it opened doors and gave me confidence to play good golf."
Romero also paid tribute to veteran Eduardo Romero, another player who has helped nurture his career and with whom he shares a manager having, as a seven-year-old, begged for balls and tee-pegs from his mentor.
"I love the way Eduardo and Angel play and how they don't change," added Romero, who intends to approach the next two weeks in his usual carefree manner. "I hope I can be the same."
Peter Lawrie, who shot a final round of 70, and Paul McGinley (73) both finished on seven-under-par 281. Damien McGrane was two-shots back on 283 after a 71 while Gary Murphy closed with a 74 for 290.
