On Saturday Prevc saw off his teenage brother Domen, this time he had Austria's Michael Hayboeck in second as he claimed his ninth career win with a massive 142-metre second jump for a total of 304.2 points.
   
Hayboeck finished with a total of 304.2 points with Norway's Kenneth Gangnes (279.8) completing the podium.
   
Switzerland's four-time Olympic champion Simon Ammann could only finish in 14th in front of his home supporters.
 
Prevc extended his lead in the overall standings to 165 points.
