Patrick Reed wins in Dubai, Andy Sullivan finishes second. DACH players like Schneider, von Dellingshausen, Girrbach, and Schott land 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 jewel of the Persian Gulf in the United Arab Emirates. Although Reed could not match his earlier successes on the final day, an even-par round was enough for the pro from San Antonio, Texas, to claim victory.
Mixed Final Day Enough for Victory
Reed was not flawless on the front nine and recorded at least one bogey. On the back nine, he recovered at the 10th hole but missed two putts at the 11th hole, resulting in another bogey despite efforts. He made up for it at the 13th hole. With a total of 14 under par, Reed won comfortably ahead of Frenchman Julien Guerrier, Spaniard David Puig, and Englishman Andy Sullivan. The victory catapulted Reed from 107th to 2nd place in the Race to Dubai rankings.

DP World Tour: Sullivan Fights to Second Place
Andy Sullivan proved himself in the final stretch of the last round to secure second place alone. The Englishman started the front nine with four bogeys and only one birdie. However, he made up strokes on the back nine with four birdies to finish with a 71. He birdied the 18th hole, clinching second place in the final moments. Despite finishing ten under par, Sullivan trailed tournament winner Reed by a clear margin but stayed under pressure from the two third-place finishers David Puig and Julien Guerrier.
David Puig concluded the final round with a 73 and ended tied with Julien Guerrier at nine under par overall. Guerrier improved seven places on the leaderboard with a strong 69 round.
