Overview
- Lawrence erased a six-shot deficit with a bogey-free eight-under 62 to reach 18 under and then sank a birdie on the fourth playoff hole to beat Paul Casey on Sunday.
- Paul Casey had promised to give his entire tournament earnings to victims of the Crans‑Montana Le Constellation bar fire and multiple outlets reported he fulfilled that pledge with roughly $412,500 (about £304,000 or €354,734).
- Casey missed several short birdie putts on the 18th in regulation and on the first three playoff holes, leaving Lawrence the opening to win on the fourth extra hole.
- Reports put Lawrence’s winner’s payout at roughly €548,226, and his victory brings him to three European Masters titles and six DP World Tour wins overall.
- The tournament was staged at Crans‑sur‑Sierre in the same Swiss resort affected by the January fire that killed 41 people, and Casey’s donation has focused more attention on recovery charities and the continuing criminal probe into the blaze.
