Yurav Premlall, an unheralded South African golfer ranked No. 598 in the world, delivered one of the most dominant performances in European tour history on Sunday, winning the tournament by a near-record 14 shots. The victory came at the conclusion of the event on May 10, 2026.
Premlall's 14-stroke margin is among the largest in European tour history, though it falls short of the record 16-shot win by Tiger Woods at the 2000 U.S. Open. The 23-year-old from Johannesburg carded rounds of 65, 68, 67, and 66 to finish at 26-under par.
His performance included a stunning final round where he birdied five of the last six holes to seal the victory. The win moves Premlall into contention for a spot in the upcoming major championships.
