Patrick Reed wins in Dubai, Andy Sullivan finishes second. DACH players Schneider, von Dellingshausen, Girrbach, and Schott finish mid-field.
American Patrick Reed secured the title at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic of the DP World Tour, held at the Emirates Golf Club in Dubai, the jewel of the Persian Gulf in the United Arab Emirates. Although Reed couldn’t quite match his earlier rounds on the final day, an even-par round was enough for the Texas pro to claim victory.
Steady final round secures victory
Reed was not flawless on the front nine, recording at least one bogey. On the back nine, he recovered from his earlier setback at the 10th hole but missed two attempts to sink the ball at the 11th, resulting in another bogey. He bounced back at the 13th hole. Finishing at 14 under par, Reed won comfortably ahead of Frenchman Julien Guerrier, Spaniard David Puig, and Englishman Andy Sullivan. The win propelled Reed from 107th to 2nd place in the Race to Dubai.

DP World Tour: Sullivan fights to second place
Andy Sullivan showed resilience in the final stretch, eventually securing sole second place. The Englishman started poorly on the front nine with four bogeys and only one birdie but made a comeback with four birdies on the back nine, finishing with a 71. A birdie on the 18th hole sealed his second-place position. With 10 under par total, he remained under pressure from third-place tie contenders David Puig and Julien Guerrier.
David Puig and Julien Guerrier both finished nine under par, with Guerrier climbing seven spots after a strong 69 in the final round.
