Emotional Meronk wins Alfred Dunhill title

LONDON: In a highly emotional victory, Poland's Adrian Meronk triumphed at the Alfred Dunhill Championship, claiming his fifth DP World Tour title and his first since 2023. Meronk secured a two-stroke win over South African rival Casey Jarvis after a dramatic final day. Jarvis had held a two-shot lead overnight but faltered with a final round of 72, ending the tournament at 18-under par.

Meronk, meanwhile, posted a strong 68 in the final round, finishing the tournament at a remarkable 20-under par. The 33-year-old Polish golfer showcased his prowess with a nine-under 63 in the third round, making an impressive start in the penultimate group with three birdies in the first five holes. Jarvis managed to regain a shot at the 15th, but Meronk's five DP World Tour titles, coupled with his emotional response, solidified his victory.

Meronk remarked, "It is unreal, to be honest. I never usually cry, but this one feels really special. I am just lost for words."
