Brooks Koepka wins Turkish Airlines Open

Brooks Koepka of the USA fired an excellent final round of 65 to win the Turkish Airlines Open by the Ministry of Youth and Sports by a single shot from England’s Ian Poulter. Koepka made a fabulous eagle three on the 13th hole to take a two-shot lead and nobody was able to close the gap as the American parred his way in. 

Ian Poulter reduced the deficit to one after a birdie on the 13th, but he was unable to get on level terms with Koepka. After a fine bunker shot on the closing hole, Poulter faced a short birdie putt to tie Koepka’s 72-hole total of 17-under-par, but he missed from six feet. The victory was Koepka’s first on the European Tour and it has moved him to sixth on the Race to Dubai with just next week’s DP World Tour Championship left to play. “It’s a special week obviously, these four events and The Race to Dubai are ones you prepare for all year, and to win one of them is very special,” said Koepka.  

Despite not playing this week, Rory McIlroy has won the 2014 Race to Dubai. Only Jamie Donaldson, Sergio Garcia and Marcel Siem could catch the Northern Irishman before this event, but all three needed a victory in Antalya to keep their hopes alive. Siem came closest. He was only a shot off the lead going into the final round over The Montgomerie Maxx Royal course, but he closed with a 71 to finish the week in a tie for eighth. Ian Poulter was disappointed to miss the crucial putt on the 18th, but he was more frustrated by his poor play on Saturday. The Englishman was six shots clear of the pack after 36 holes, but his third round of 75 cost him dearly. “I’ll be angry for a few days, but the damage was done on Saturday,” he said. “That, for me, is really disappointing. To have played three great rounds of golf, and just one blip on Saturday, which is a real shame.” Henrik Stenson carded a brilliant final round of 64 to climb the leaderboard and finish in third spot. The Swede will take a great deal of confidence into next week when he defends his DP World Tour Championship title in Dubai.

Marcel Siem win the BMW Masters

Marcel Siem pulled off a dramatic victory at the BMW Masters, chipping in on the first sudden-death playoff hole for the title.

Siem was forced to head to extra holes after missing a 6-footer on the 72nd green, moving on to a playoff with Alexander Levy and Ross Fisher after finishing in regulation at 16-under 272 at Lake Malaren Golf Club in Shanghai, China.

Levy headed into the round with control of the lead, but could not maintain it after shooting a 6-over 78 on the final day.

The group of three was trailed by Justin Rose and Jamie Donaldson, who finished tied for fourth at 15 under. Donaldson had a birdie putt to join the playoff, but left it short on the 18th.

The win is the fourth on the European Tour for Siem, a native of Germany.

792nd in the world, but Oliver Wilson wins at last in the Alfred Dunhill Links

ST ANDREWS, October 5, 2014 – They all came to the Old Course to cheer the world’s leading golfer Rory McIlroy to yet another victory, but it was England’s Oliver Wilson, the overnight leader, who went away with the respect of the Scottish galleries after winning the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship by one shot.

An emotional Oliver, who lost his European Tour card in 2011 and was playing in the Championship as an invitee, was hugged by his wife Lauren as he came to terms with the enormity of his success, which now gives him a two-year exemption on the European Tour. She had flown to St Andrews from London without telling him and was there to celebrate with him when he walked off the 18th green.
