Alex Noren Wins BMW PGA in Playoff at Rain-Soaked Wentworth

The 43-year-old vice-captain capped a resurgence with a second Wentworth crown after last month’s British Masters.

Overview

  • Noren prevailed on the first extra hole over Adrien Saddier after both finished 72 holes at 19 under par.
  • The victory is his 12th DP World Tour title, his second in three starts, and his second BMW PGA win after 2017.
  • Torrential rain made for a grueling final round before the playoff decided the DP World Tour’s flagship event.
  • Aaron Rai and Patrick Reed shared third at 16 under, while Tyrrell Hatton and Matt Fitzpatrick were the top Team Europe finishers at 15 under.
  • Saddier, a first-time winner in Italy earlier this year, continued a strong run with a close runner-up showing.
