Jayden Schaper clinches the AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open with another playoff victory, finishing with a stunning chip-in eagle.

South African golfer Jayden Schaper has secured his second consecutive win on the DP World Tour, triumphing at the AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open held at La Réserve Golf Links. Just a week after his playoff victory at the Alfred Dunhill Championship, Schaper once again prevailed in a playoff, this time against American Ryan Gerard, to close out the 2025 DP World Tour season in style.

Schaper got off to a hot start with two birdies on the front nine and an eagle on the 5th hole. He maintained his momentum on the back nine, adding four more birdies to card a superb 64 (-8) in the final round. Gerard kept the pressure on with a bogey-free 66 (-6), featuring four birdies on the front and two more on the back nine.

Both players finished the tournament at 22-under-par, sending the event into a playoff. On the second extra hole, Schaper sealed the win with a spectacular chip-in eagle, while Gerard managed only a par. It marked Schaper’s second straight playoff win and capped off a remarkable end to his 2025 season.

Schaper: ‘I couldn’t have asked for anything better’

Speaking after the win, an emotional Schaper reflected on his incredible run: ‘The last three weeks have been unbelievable. 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 is going to be great this year, and so is the new year.’

Fellow South African Casey Jarvis finished third after a steady week. His final round included four birdies and three bogeys, resulting in a 71 and a solid podium finish.
