Overview
- Schott, 24, secured his first DP World Tour title at Royal Golf Club by prevailing from a three-man playoff.
- Reed bogeyed the first extra hole to drop out, and Schott beat Hill on the second after Hill drove out of bounds and then found water.
- Reed had surged into a share of the lead late in regulation but finished at 17 under after a bogey at No. 16 before losing in the playoff.
- The 2018 Masters champion won last week’s Hero Dubai Desert Classic, has left LIV Golf, and has applied for PGA Tour reinstatement under rules that point to 2027 unless he earns status through results.
- With a T2 in Bahrain, Reed remains No. 2 in the Race to Dubai standings, now 67 points behind leader Jayden Schaper, as the playoff was observed by Bahrain Crown Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa.
