With 3 missed cuts in 5 starts this season, and all the excitement of new daughter Tegan's arrival on January 31st this is a great start to his 2026 season worth $44.898 cdn and a 43 place move to #106 in the Race to Dubai points.

EDIT>>>>

Casey Jarvis won his maiden DP World Tour title as he rounded off a wire-to-wire success at the 2026 Magical Kenya Open presented by absa.

The South African, who had shared the lead after each of the first three rounds, held off playing partner Davis Bryant in a final round twice interrupted by stormy conditions in Nairobi.

Jarvis had six birdies and rounded off his round of 62 with a second eagle of the day to win by three strokes -25.

Jarvis began with three birdies and a bogey in his first four holes to reach -19, still one clear of compatriot Hennie Du Plessis.

Another gain came at the sixth, with Bryant pouring in three in a row from the fifth to stay on his tail as Jarvis reached the turn one ahead.

Bryant coolly slotted his birdie at the 11th but Jarvis brilliantly eagled the 12th, perfectly judging his putt up the steep slope in front of the green to move two up with six to play, moments before the hooter went to bring the players in as thunder rolled.

The American was back within one after a birdie at the next and another stoppage arrived with the leading pair having teed off on the 17th where Jarvis eventually made a birdie, to Bryant's par, so he was two clear with one to play.

That cleared the stage for Jarvis, who found the fairway and then the green in exemplary fashion on the 18th before rolling in a 15-foot eagle putt to round off a momentous week in style.

The 22-year-old said: "It's amazing, I've actually never won in front of my dad before, I've wanted to win in front of him so badly, and to finally do it when he's here, I can't explain to you the emotions.

"I was so nervous coming down the last two so yeah, it feels great.

"There's not many words that can describe the feeling, I also wish my mum was here but she's back home in the UK. But it's unbelievable, he's been with me through the ups, through the downs. I know this moment doesn't happen often so we're going to celebrate it properly tonight."

The celebrations can now begin in earnest and the Jarvis added: "Only a four-hour flight to Joburg – I feel sorry for the people on the plane because I feel like it’s going to be pretty loud!"

Bryant's birdie left him second outright on -22 ahead of Du Plessis -21 and then Laporta -20. Jacob Skov Olesen's 65 left him -19 along with Kimsey, whose fellow Englishman Matthew Jordan shot 62 to vault up to 7th.

Defending champion Jacques Kruyswijk followed three straight 67s with a 65 to finish -14 and securely in the top 20.

   PGA Tour : Genesis Invitational Leaderboard  Tee Times

England's Marco Penge life has been eventful since he won  the DP World Tour Player of the Year, earning dual status on the PGA Tour.

Chris Hyde

After changing from Mizumo, to PXG clubs his wife was sent on ahead to America, heavily pregnant, toting their 2 year old, and moving into their new Florida home in Palm Beach, while Marco was playing in the Middle East, then Torrey Pines with her plight weighing on his mind.

"It's been a bit of a gamble of me, just going to compete while sending her on her own, with no friends or family"

He birdied 5 of his last 7 holes to post 64 and tying a field best -12, 130 along with Texan Jacob Bridgman in much more benign weather on one of America's famous Riviera GC.

Rory is in fine form as usual, 3rd, 66 65 -11 with just 1 bogey in 36 holes. "Thankfully no Pacific Ocean to hit it into, I've played well, controlled my distance's and made a few 8 footers for par on these soft, but fast Poa annua greens.

This signature event worth $3.6million to the winner does have a cut this week which fell at E for the top 50 and ties.

Scheffler caught a break when he was playing so poorly on Thursday he was last in the field +5 thru 10 when darkness fell.

He returned on Friday morning got in at 74 +3 then had a putt curl into the cup, instead of out to on the 18th make the cut on the number with -3 68 E.

Edit>>>>>>>

Casey Jarvis shared the lead for the third straight day at the 2026 Magical Kenya Open as he and Angel Ayora went into the final round tied at -17

Spaniard Ayora carded a -6 64, his second of the week, but Jarvis' 66 ensured he stayed locked at the top.

Fellow South African Hennie Du Plessis was a shot behind -16 along with American Davis Bryant, with the top eight on the leaderboard all chasing their maiden win on the DP World Tour.

Ayora went out in 33 with birdies at the second and seventh before a run of three in a row straight after the turn took him to 16 under.

His playing partners Bryant and Du Plessis both birdied the last to join him on that mark before the Spaniard slotted in a four of his own to go one ahead again.

Jarvis was coming down the hole in the group behind and was safely in the fairway off the tee, ultimately also making birdie as his eagle putt came up a foot short.

Jarvis, who shared the lead with Niklas Lemke after day one, with Frederic Lacroix through two rounds and now Ayora, said: "I think I played pretty solid, played the front nine really nicely, just didn't make as many putts as I would have liked. Bit of a shaky tenth hole but brought it back nicely.

"(Ayora's) a fantastic player and I think tomorrow we'll both hopefully push each other and we'll see what happens."

Ayora said: "Well today was a nice round, bogey-free, that's an amazing feeling. I'm playing very good and hope to repeat that tomorrow.

Du Plessis recovered from bogeys at the third and fourth holes to shoot 65, with six birdies on the back nine including each of the last three holes.

Bryant was one better on the day, following Friday's 63 with a 64 to also reach 16 under - the 26-year-old has dropped just two shots in his 54 holes.

Francesco Laporta was on his own at -15 under after a 65 while Nathan Kimsey was the first of the leading pack to complete his round, a bogey-free 64 capped by an exceptional up-and-down at the last to record his sixth birdie of the day and reach -14.

Aaron Cockerill reached -13 with a 62, the low round of the day. The Canadian started on the back nine with three birdies and an eagle then responded to a dropped shot at the third by finishing his day with a run of four birdies

Two man lead, Cockerill T42 Kenya Open...36 hole results

  DP World Tour : Magical Kenya Open Entry List Tee Times

Frederic Lacroix shot a second-round 62 to share the halfway lead with Casey Jarvis at the 2026 Magical Kenya Open presented by absa.

At -13 the pair held a two-shot lead over the field as they attempted to wrestle the limelight from Kenya's Njoroge Kibugu, who delighted the home crowd by making the cut with an eagle at the last.

Jarvis' fellow South African Hennie Du Plessis fired a stunning 61, which would have been a course record had preferred lies not been in play at Karen Country Club, to share third place with Spain's Angel Ayora and Portugal's Ricardo Gouveia on -11

After finishing his opening 65 with an eagle to build momentum, Lacroix had four birdies before the turn and the same again afterwards for a brilliant 62.

He said: "I’m super happy about today. I made a couple of good putts and it was just a solid round off the tee with no mistakes.

"This morning was a bit colder, a bit more humid, so the ball is not going to travel that much. Yesterday evening was very hot and dry, and there’s a few out there that are going to be bad – you just hit it and it never stops.

"It’s one of those where if you miss a shot off the tee, you get in trouble very quickly. I think it’s more managing some holes you can be aggressive, sometimes you can’t, especially with different pins. If you live in the middle of the fairway, you’re going to be alright."

Jarvis looked set to lead on his own after adding seven birdies to the ten he made in his opening 62.

"It’s nice putting myself into these positions. Obviously, I get more comfortable with it. I’ve had two wins on the Sunshine Tour (last November's Hyundai Open and Vodacom Origins of Golf), so I kind of know what the feeling is now."

Francesco Laporta and Davis Bryant were a shot further back at -10 with first-round co-leader Niklas Lemke among the group at -9.

edit >>> Canada's Aaron Cockerill was out in +2 37, but bounced back with a bogey free,3 birdie back nine -1 69 T42 -5.

  PGA Tour : Genesis Invitational Leaderboard  Tee Times

Scott Scheffler is part of the PGA Tour TV promotion saying "I've been practicing since I was 2 or 3 to be able to play golf for a living" yes a ridiculous thing to say,  unless you have a photo of your 2 year old on your local range, however Mother Nature spared him from his temper, postponing his round after 10 holes in dead last place 75th +5 thru 10.

Rory endured the wind and rain and 3 hour delay as well as anyone with -5 66 T1 with Jacob Bridgman in the clubhouse. The greens are so soft approach shots were plugging, darts that made scoring easier.

Aaron Rai was -6 through 16, Ryan Fox is 4th -4 67 to fill the frame while there is a seven player log jam at T5 -3 including Colin Morikawa.

Round 1 scheduled for 7am PT  Round 2 7.25am PT today.
