Rozner tastes victory in Dubai

Antoine Rozner claimed his maiden European Tour title at the Golf in Dubai Championship presented by DP World after a great final round performance helped the Frenchman come from four shots back to seal a two-stroke victory at Jumeirah Golf Estates.

The 27-year-old was neck-and-neck with Andy Sullivan down the stretch but it was a superlative second shot into the par-five 18th hole which sealed the deal as a two-putt birdie earned the European Tour Rookie an eight-under final round 64 and a twenty-five-under total.
The win moved Rozner to twenty-fourth in the Race to Dubai Rankings presented by Rolex as he looks forward to a debut in next week's DP World Championship, Dubai, confident in the knowledge that his two Challenge Tour victories in 2019 came in back-to-back fashion.

Sullivan, who had led the field after each of the opening three rounds, had a disappointing day as two bogeys contributed to his worst round of the week, a two-under 70 which left him in a share of second alongside three others.
Sullivan’s English compatriot Matt Wallace enjoyed a stunning back nine which comprised five birdies and four pars to sign for a four-under 68 and a joint second-place finish. 
Mike Lorenzo Vera’s second successive 65 meant he joined the English duo on 23 under, as did Italy’s Francesco Laporta, who finished with four birdies in a row for a closing 66 and the best result of his European Tour career.
