World Tour title
CHEONAN, South Korea (AP) --- Yuto Katsuragawa secured his second DP World Tour
title with a two-shot victory at the Genesis Championship in South Korea on
Sunday.
A day after a flawless 8-under 63 in the third round to tie the course record
at Woo Jeong Hills Country Club, the Japanese player shot a more circumspect
even-par 71 in the final round as he maintained his a comfortable advantage in
the final holes, despite a tap-in bogey at the last.
The 28-year-old Katsuragawa had a four-round total of 13-under 271, two shots
ahead of French pair Frederic Lacroix (68) and Martin Couvra (69) with 11-under
273.
South African golfer Casey Jarvis (72) who was in second place going into
Sunday's championship round fell back into a tie for fourth place with seven
other players, including British Open champion Ryan Fox (70) at 10-under 274.
Jarvis was seeking a third win of the 2026 season, after the Kenya Open and
South African Open in February, to close in on the top three in the Race to
Dubai standings --- Eugenio Chacarra, Patrick Reed and Rory McIlroy.
Reed and McIlroy did not compete this week. Chacarra, who is No. 1 in the
standings after winning in India last week, finished seven shots back at
6-under 278 and tied for 22nd.
There are two more events left in the European tour season, in Abu Dhabi and
then Dubai.
