Patrick Reed wins in Dubai, Andy Sullivan is second. DACH players like Schneider, von Dellingshausen, Girrbach and Schott finish mid-field.
American Patrick Reed claims the title at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic on the DP World Tour at the Emirates Golf Club in Dubai, the gem of the Persian Gulf in the United Arab Emirates. On the final day, Reed couldn’t quite match his earlier success, but an even-par round was enough for the pro from San Antonio, Texas, to secure victory.
Mixed Final Day Suffices for Victory
On the front nine, Reed was not error-free and recorded at least one bogey on his scorecard. On the back nine, he balanced out his earlier mistake at the 10th hole but missed two attempts to hole the ball on the 11th, scoring another bogey after missing par by four strokes. He recovered on the 13th hole. With a total of 14 under par, Reed secured the title clearly ahead of Frenchman Julien Guerrier, Spaniard David Puig, and Englishman Andy Sullivan. With the win, Reed soared in the Race to Dubai from 107th to 2nd place.

DP World Tour: Sullivan Fights to Second Place
Andy Sullivan proved himself in the final stretch of the last round to secure sole second place. The Englishman started the front nine with a disastrous four bogeys and only one birdie. On the back nine, he made up some strokes with four birdies, finishing with a 71, including a birdie on the 18th hole. Despite ten under par, he still fell short of Reed but was pressed until the end by third-place finishers David Puig and Julien Guerrier. Puig finished the final round with a 73, tying with Guerrier at nine under par. Guerrier improved seven spots on the leaderboard with a strong 69 round.
