Jayden Schaper claims back-to-back DP World Tour titles with a dramatic chip-in eagle to win the AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open.
South African golfer Jayden Schaper continued his sensational form by winning the 2025 AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open on the DP World Tour. Held at La Réserve Golf Links, Schaper secured his second consecutive title in thrilling fashion, defeating American Ryan Gerard in a playoff with a spectacular chip-in eagle on the second extra hole.
Schaper opened his final round with two birdies and an eagle on the 5th hole, maintaining momentum with four more birdies on the back nine. His bogey-free 64 (-8) was matched by Gerard’s impressive 66 (-6), which included six birdies and no bogeys. Both players finished at 22-under-par, forcing a playoff to decide the champion.
In the playoff, Schaper delivered a moment of brilliance, holing out from off the green for eagle while Gerard could only manage par. The win marks Schaper’s second straight DP World Tour victory, following his triumph at the Alfred Dunhill Championship the previous week.
Jayden Schaper: ‘I couldn’t have asked for anything better’
Speaking after the win, an emotional Schaper reflected on his recent success: ‘The last three weeks have been incredible. I don’t know what to say. It’s just crazy to finish a tournament like this. It’s been such a great week, such a great place, the support, the golf course—from start to finish. I couldn’t have asked for anything better. Christmas will be great this year, and so will the New Year.’
Fellow South African Casey Jarvis claimed solo third after a steady week. His final round of 71 included four birdies and three bogeys, leaving him just short of the playoff.
Mixed results for German players on final day
Germany’s Marcel Siem and Marcel Schneider both struggled in the final round. Schneider, who had been in contention earlier in the week, carded a 78 (+6) after a back nine collapse that included three bogeys and a double bogey on the 12th. He finished tied for 37th at four-under-par, alongside Siem, who also posted a disappointing 76 (+4) with three double bogeys.
Nick Bachem was the only other German to make the cut. He shot even par on the final day to finish at one-under-par, tied for 48th place.
