Guico struggled in the early holes with a bogey on the first, a double bogey on the second and a bogey on the third, but managed to pick himself up with birdies on Nos. 5 and 9 to finish with a three-round total of 104.

He banked on his earlier rounds of 32 and 34 to clinch a four-shot victory over American George Powell, who jumped from third to solo second with a 108 aggregate following a 38 on the final round.
