After his maiden Tour win Damien McGrane is determined to avoid making drastic changes to his game after victory in the Volvo China Open in Beijing.

The Meathman, up to a career high 148th in the world rankings, has been searching for his first win during six seasons on the circuit but he finally broke his duck with an emphatic nine-stroke victory at the Beijing CBD International Golf Club yesterday.

"I will try and stick with my plan," said the 37-year-old. "I know what I want to do and try to achieve and I won't change what I do.

"I haven't done in the past with or without success and I am not going to change now."

With the heavy rain and wind playing havoc with many of the players' scoring during the final round, McGrane adapted well to card two birdies and only three bogeys for a one-over-par 73.

"My short game this week has been excellent and I knew that if the weather turned everybody would have to rely on their short game," he added.

"It was one of those days that everyone had to knuckle down and do the best they could, it was extremely difficult.

"My putting was good and you needed that for pars never mind birdies — it went my way.

"The weather helped stop other players making a charge at my lead so once I had made as many pars as possible I knew that the tournament was mine."
