Jayden Schaper claims back-to-back DP World Tour titles with a stunning chip-in eagle to win the AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open.
South African Jayden Schaper delivered another thrilling performance to win the 2025 AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open at La Réserve Golf Links. Just a week after his playoff victory at the Alfred Dunhill Championship, Schaper once again triumphed in a playoff—this time with a spectacular chip-in eagle to edge out American Ryan Gerard in the final DP World Tour event of the year.
Schaper started strong with two birdies and an eagle on the front nine, followed by four more birdies on the back nine to card an impressive 64 (-8). Gerard kept the pressure on with a bogey-free round of 66 (-6), featuring six birdies, to force the playoff with both players finishing at 22-under-par.
In the playoff, Schaper sealed the win in style by holing out for eagle on the second extra hole, while Gerard could only manage par. The 24-year-old celebrated his second consecutive DP World Tour title, both secured in playoffs, capping off a remarkable end to his 2025 season.
Jayden Schaper: ‘I couldn’t have asked for anything better’
Following his 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 that. 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 secured third place after a steady tournament performance. His final round included four birdies and three bogeys, resulting in a 71.
Mixed results for German players on final day
German golfers Marcel Siem and Marcel Schneider, who had been closely matched throughout the tournament, both struggled on the final day. Schneider started solidly but faltered on the back nine with three bogeys and a double bogey, ending with a 78 and finishing tied for 37th at four-under-par—alongside Siem, who also carded a 76 (+4) after a round that included three birdies, two bogeys, and three double bogeys.
Nick Bachem, the only other German to make the cut, shot even par in the final round and finished tied for 48th at one-under-par.
