Patrick Reed wins in Dubai with Andy Sullivan second. DACH players Schneider, von Dellingshausen, Girrbach, and Schott finish mid-field.
American Patrick Reed secured the title at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic on the DP World Tour at the Emirates Golf Club in Dubai, the pearl of the Persian Gulf in the United Arab Emirates. On the final day, Reed couldn’t fully match the successes of the previous days, but an even-par round was enough for the professional from San Antonio, Texas, to clinch the win.
Mixed Final Round Is Enough for Victory
Reed made at least one bogey on the front nine and balanced this out with a par on the tenth hole, though he missed par on the 11th after two putts. He later evened out the score with a birdie on the 13th. Finishing at 14 under par overall, Reed claimed the title comfortably ahead of Frenchman Julien Guerrier, Spaniard David Puig, and Englishman Andy Sullivan. The victory catapulted Reed in the Race to Dubai rankings from 107th to 2nd place.

DP World Tour: Sullivan Fights to Second Place
Andy Sullivan proved himself late in the final round to secure sole second place. The Englishman started poorly with four bogeys and only one birdie on the front nine but recovered on the back nine with four birdies and finished with a 71. His birdie on the 18th hole helped him secure second place, though ten under par left him trailing far behind Reed. Sullivan was closely pursued by co-third place finishers David Puig and Julien Guerrier.
Puig completed the final round with a 73, finishing at nine under par alongside Guerrier, who improved seven places on the leaderboard with a strong 69.
