The triumph marks his third DP World Tour title of 2025, capping a resurgence after a late-2024 betting ban.

Overview

  • Penge birdied the first extra hole at Club de Campo to defeat Daniel Brown after both finished at 15 under.
  • He closed with a 1-over 72 after starting the day four ahead, while Brown shot 67 and forced the playoff with a birdie at the 18th despite a shoulder issue.

  • It is Penge’s third DP World Tour win of the season, following the Danish Golf Championship and the Hainan Classic.
  • The season’s surge follows a December 2024 betting-related suspension of three months with one month suspended.
