He finished the week on 12-under par.
The German picked up a first-prize cheque for $1.6m following his maiden win.

The runaway FedEx Cup leader was looking to become the first player to win three straight tournaments on the PGA Tour since Dustin Johnson in 2017.
Scheffler was also seeking a first victory in his home state of Texas.
But it was not to be as it was Jaeger's week in Houston.
Jaeger now qualifies for his first-ever trip to The Masters from 11-14 April.
As a result of playing his way into the season's first major at Augusta National, he has decided to withdraw from next week's Texas Open where Rory McIlroy will start a warm tournament favourite.
