Wire-to-wire win for Jordan Gumberg

Jordan Gumberg fired three birdies and one bogey to close with a 2-under 70 at the Blackstone Course and win the Hainan Classic by one shot at 19-under.

Gumberg has had good form in recently, he held on to his DP World Tour card thanks to a hole-out eagle at the final hole of the Genesis Championship in South Korea last Autumn.

“It feels unbelievable, this is a dream-come-true week, said the American.

“After the finish of last year, to be standing on the podium again and holding a trophy is unreal, it’s incredible.

Gumberg has had one previous win on the DP World Tour, at the 2024 SDC Championship in South Africa.

Some wins are bigger than others 💪

“Two years ago I won my first event, I wasn’t actually a member of the Tour at that point, I was playing on sponsor invites, it was kind of a whirlwind of a change of schedule and being able to be a DP World Tour player,” said Gumberg.

“The first year was kind of me learning the ropes and learning the golf courses, and it took a while. There’s a big learning curve – I mean, these guys are good! Every player in this field is a hell of a player and can win.”

Overnight co-leader Jorge Campillo of Spain fired three birdies and two bogeys for a 71 and finished second at 18-under.

England’s Marcus Armitage had stayed bogeys free and made five birdies before a double bogey at the par-4 18th for a 69 saw him finish T3 at 15-under.

The UAE’s Adrian Otaegui carded a bogey-free 64 featuring an eagle at the par-5 12th for a share of third place alongside China’s 17-year-old Yanhan Zhou who made five birdies and two bogeys for a 69.

At the Genesis Championship in October last year, Jordan Gumberg was sitting 127th in the Race to Dubai Rankings.

With one hole to play, he needed to make an eagle at the last to climb up the Rankings and finish within the top 115 to secure his DP World Tour card for the 2026… pic.twitter.com/bwBHnEIK7K
