Lawrence successfully defended his title in Crans Montana in Switzerland
South African golfer Thriston Lawrence has made history by becoming the first three-time winner of the European Masters Golf tournament, following in the footsteps of Seve Ballesteros. In Switzerland, Lawrence defended his title by defeating England's Paul Casey in a playoff on the fourth hole. Starting the final round tied for 10th place, Lawrence showcased an impressive birdie-filled eight-under-par 62, securing a 262 total for the tournament.
Casey, who managed a par on the 18th hole, forced the playoff with a 68. Lawrence's victory marks him as the sixth South African to win on the DP World Tour this season, and together with Casey, they have shared eight titles.
