DP World Tour : Bapco Energies Bahrain Championship Leaderboard Results
There is a 3 man playoff at this version of the Bapco Energies Bahrain Championship.
Pablo Larrazabal (70 -14), Laurie Canter (69 -14) and Dan Brown (70 -14) playing the par4 18th.
edit ** Laurie Canter has birdied the 1st playoff hole while Brown and Larrazabal made bogey's. It is his second DP World Tour title having won the European Open last year.
He joined LIV in 2022 as a founding member and did not retain his DP World Tour status. However he lost his LIV status after 2023 and early in 2024 he decided to return to DP World Tour to take the traditional route to qualify for Majors and Ryder Cup.
The Englishman had looked like coming up just short after carding an eagle and a birdie in a flawless 69 to set the clubhouse target on 14 under.
But he was given a lifeline when leader Larrazábal bogeyed the last to set up a play-off with Canter and Brown.
And he took full advantage, producing a shot-of-the-day contender at the first extra hole to give himself a close-range birdie putt.
Spain's Larrazábal and England's Brown shared second place on -14 one shot ahead of Martin Couvra, Ivan Cantero, Richie Ramsay and David Puig following a thrilling final round.
He said: "I'm so chuffed to have stuck in there. It's unfortunate what happened to Pablo but I'm absolutely delighted to have stuck in and got another win.
"A lot of the stuff I've kind of stumbled on at the beginning of this year, being part of that Team Cup and listening to a few of the speakers and people, how they deal with pressure.
"So I just said 'we've got a job to do here and let's really knuckle into what we're trying to do, hit some quality shots under pressure'.
"And I did that great. The two swings I made in the play-off were super and then sort of limped the putt in so it was nice to win with a three.
Meanwhile Canada's Aaron Cockerill has wrapped up his week T38 71 68 74 70 -5 moving up the Race to Dubai standing 18 places to #138 worth 13,709 euros ($20,660)
