The toughest stop on the DP World Tour schedule is widely considered to be the DLF Golf & Country Club in New Delhi - host of the Hero Indian Open.
In the end, Alex Fitzpatrick got to grips with the brute of a layout most effectively, carding a final round of 69 to beat Eugenio Chacarra, who was the defending champion, by two.
That was quite an achievement from the Englishman, considering that, at the start of the day, Chacarra led Fitzpatrick and MJ Daffue by four.
While Fitzpatrick stood up to the task, Chacarra faltered, only managing a 75 in the final round, while Daffue's 73 ensured he placed in a tie for third.
The win marks a brilliant couple of weeks in the Fitzpatrick family, with Alex's brother, Matt, having won the PGA Tour's Valspar Championship seven days earlier.
While Matt earned $1,638,000 for that victory, Alex has to settle for considerably less for his win on the sub-continent, although he still heads away with $433,500 before an array of different factors reduce how much money players really earn from a tournament.
Chacarra also leaves significantly better off, having earned $280,500, with Daffue winning $160,650.
The win also increased Fitzpatrick's chances of earning a bonus $200,000 thanks to the boost it has given him in the Asian Swing standings.
The winner of the section, which ends with the Turkish Airlines Open in May, claims the sum, and he has done his chances no harm at all, sitting in second behind Jordan Gumberg. Whoever does win the Asian Swing will also book his place in the PGA Championship.
Fitzpatrick is now also sixth in the Race to Dubai rankings, up from 31st. That means he's now a big step closer to joining Matt on the PGA Tour next season, with the top 10 not otherwise exempt at the end of the season all earning cards to the US-based circuit.
Below is what each player won at the Hero Indian Open in Euros.
