David Ravetto signed for a 64 marred by a single bogey at the par-4 12th to reach 23-under and win the D+D REAL Czech Masters by four shots.
“It’s undescribable, I’m just super happy. I’m over the moon, I’m not going to find my words, I’m sorry!”
This first DP World Tour title came in his 49th start and makes Ravetto the first French winner since Matthieu Pavon won the 2023 acciona Open de Espana presented by Madrid.
Ravetto is in his second year on a Q-School playing category and secured his place on Tour with the win.
“Everything’s going to change for me” he said. “I mean, I’m sure to have a job next year now, so that’s a good feeling! I think I’m going to play a little bit more free when I tee up on a Thursday morning now.
“Walking up the 18th after driving the middle of the fairway was a lot of emotion, I almost cracked and started crying on the fairway. When I saw my caddie and my girlfriend I couldn’t hold it in any more.
“I’m sure we’ll celebrate nicely – French guys, we know how to do it! There’s probably got to be something here tonight in Prague and maybe in Paris next week.”
Sweden’s Jesper Svensson who held the overnight lead closed with a bogey-free 69 to finish second at 19-under.
France’s Frederic Lacroix (65) and Adrien Saddier (68) tied for fourth at 18-under alongside Scotland’s Richie Ramsay (bogey-free67)
