Overview

  • Penge shot a 4-under 67 to finish on 16 under, securing his second DP World Tour title of the season after winning the Hainan Classic in April.
  • Hojgaard carried a four-shot lead into the mid-round but dropped four strokes across holes 10 to 13 before eagling the par-5 18th to briefly draw level.
  • By topping the Closing Swing standings, Penge earned a $200,000 bonus and guaranteed entry into the final nine events of the DP World Tour campaign.
  • Hojgaard’s runner-up finish leaves him outside Europe’s six automatic Ryder Cup qualifying spots, with next week’s British Masters serving as his last chance to earn points.
  • Ben Schmidt finished solo third at 12 under and Sweden’s Mikael Lindberg recorded the tour’s 16th hole-in-one of the 2025 season during the tournament.
