Lawrence catches Luiten to claim Euro tour win

MUNICH — Tristan Lawrence overhauled Joost Luiten in a tense end to win the BMW Worldwide Open by 1 stroke Sunday for his fourth European tour title.

Lawrence began the ultimate spherical 4 strokes off the lead, however his 3-under 69, mixed with a 2-over 74 for Luiten, was sufficient for the South African to win at 13-under general. Luiten bogeyed the seventeenth and wanted a birdie on the 18th to drive a playoff, however he might solely make par.

Lawrence has received all 4 of his titles in simply over a 12 months and a half, since his first on the European tour and Sunshine Tour co-sanctioned Joburg Open in November 2021.

Poland’s Adrian Meronk (68), who’s chasing a Ryder Cup spot, was considered one of 4 tied for third at 11 below, together with Daniel Hillier (71), Rikuya Hoshino (69) and Maximilian Kieffer (68).

The trio one other shot behind included Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen (69), who received plaudits for his spectacular tour debut on an invitation after not too long ago ending his faculty golf profession at Oklahoma State.
