Lawrence, results

Lawrence, a 29-year-old from Nelspruit, secured his third win in the tournament, his second consecutive after last year’s, which was preceded by his 2022 win. He recovered from tenth place with a spectacular 62 (-8, eight birdies) and waited a long time in the clubhouse for Casey, a 49-year-old from Cheltenham, to finish the round. Casey, leading by one shot at the 17th hole, saw his ball go wide on the final hole, causing a bogey (68, -2, seven birdies, three bogeys, one double bogey) that led to a play-off. Then, in overtime, the Englishman twice missed the decisive birdie putt, which Lawrence then slotted in from long range on the fourth hole for his sixth title on the tour.

In third place with a score of 263 (-17) is England’s Harry Hall, in fourth, along with Laporta, are Austria’s Bernd Wiesberger and Spaniards Angel Hidalgo, Angel Ayora, and Eugenio Chacarra, and in ninth with a score of 265 (-11) is Switzerland’s Joel Girrbach and England’s Matt Wallace, a past winner in 2024. Close behind, in 11th with a score of 266 (-14) is American Patrick Reed, number one in the Race to Dubai (order of merit), and in 30th with a score of 271 (-9) is Spain’s Sergio Garcia, also in the Arab Super League, who fell short after a strong start.

Lawrence, in addition to his six victories on the DP World Tour, boasts four on the Sunshine Tour, where he began his career, one on the MENA Golf Tour, one on the Big Easy Tour, and one on the IGT Pro Tour. In 143 appearances, he has achieved 22 other top-ten finishes (six times runner-up). He received a check for €548,226 out of a prize pool of approximately €3,230,000 (officially $3,750,000).

In the tournament, now in its 92nd year (previously called the Swiss Open), the South African tied with six other players with three wins, a record in the roll of honor: Spaniard Severiano Ballesteros, South African Harold Henning, Welshman Dai Rees, Frenchmen Auguste Boyer and Marcel Dallemagne, and Scotsman Alec Ross.

Francesco Laporta (67 67 65 65), 35, from Castellana Grotte (BA), achieved his third top ten finish of the season, after finishing second in the South African Open and fourth in the Magical Kenya Open. In the final round, he was in contention for the title until the 17th hole, when he was halted with a bogey after an eagle, five birdies, and another bogey (65, -5). He rose from 68th to 54th in the rankings.

Of the other Italians, Edoardo Molinari, vice-captain of Team Europe at the 2027 Ryder Cup (Ireland) for the third consecutive year, and Stefano Mazzoli, who won the Corales Puntacana Championship in July, finished in 39th place with a score of 273 (-7), Guido Migliozzi in 57th place with a score of 277 (-3), and Gregorio De Leo in 61st place with a score of 278 (-2).
