Harrington and Pavan were tied for the lead heading into the final round and the esteemed Irishman looked to be on his way to his 16th European Tour title when he led by three at the turn, but a back nine of 36 saw him sign for 69 to finish two strokes back from his emphatic playing partner. The Ryder Cup Vice-Captain gained 130,550 points to move from 204th to 143rd in the Race to Dubai while Malaysia’s Gavin Green took third place alone for 73,555 points which moves him from 99th to 80th in season Rankings.
England’s Lee Slattery is on the precipice of a third DP World Tour Championship appearance – and first since 2015 – with a solid closing round of 68 to share fourth place with Scotland’s Scott Jamieson at 15 under par. The pair each gained 54,285 points which sees Slattery move from 50th to 45th in the Race to Dubai with a season total of 605,137 while Jamieson improves his position from 128th to 120th.
