Victor Dubuisson has hit fine form at the perfect time with the DP World Tour Championship just over two weeks away. The 25 year old Frenchman birdied three of his final four holes to claim a second Turkish Airlines Open title and surge up to seventh in The Race to Dubai – a remarkable rise of 42 places by winning 1,333,330 Race to Dubai points.
Dubuisson’s 22-under win has given him a fantastic chance of receiving a share of The Race to Dubai Bonus Pool, which will be distributed after the season-ending DP World Tour Championship which takes place at Jumeirah Golf Estates from Thursday 19 to Sunday 22 November. The bonus pool is available for the top 15 players in The Race to Dubai rankings.
“This victory means a lot because I haven't had a great season so far and to win here, puts me back in the Top 10 of The Race to Dubai. It's really great.
South African Jaco Van Zyl finished one shot off the pace with a round total of 267 that has not only secured his spot in the season-ending DP World Tour Championship but has also given him the opportunity to challenge for The Race to Dubai Bonus Pool after surging up to 16th from 51st in The Race to Dubai. The final event of The European Tour season taking place in Dubai is eligible for the top 60 players.
As well as competing for a whopping prize fund of US$8 million at Jumeirah Golf Estates, the top 15 players in The Race to Dubai following the conclusion of the tournament will be eligible for a share of an additional US$5 million while any of those top finishers who compete in three of the four Final Series events will also receive an enhanced share of the additional bonus of US$1,365,500.
General admission to the season ending DP World Tour Championship at Jumeirah Golf Estates is free of charge and can be obtained by registering online at www.DPWorldTourChampionship.com.
