Antoine Rozner won the AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open title on Sunday. The French golfer claimed his third DP World Tour title by finishing a 67 in the final round at the Mont Choisy Le Golf in Grand Baie, Mauritius.
The Frenchman took a runaway lead from his competitors, including runner-up Alfredo Garcia-Heredia. Rozner scored a 19-under 269 total to win by five shots at the Mauritius Open. The golfer’s 19-under total was repetitive of the score he posted in the DP World Tour event three years ago. However, he lost the title then in a play-off.
Following the win, Rozner described it as "unbelievable." Speaking to the media at the Mauritius Open, the Frenchman said:
"It's a tough game. We practise so hard all year long and a win is a win, and I'm so glad I got this done. It's so hard to win, so I'm just so happy… I didn't know anything about the scores, I didn't want to have a look. I knew I was in the lead. I knew if I kept playing like this there was going to be no issue at the end but it was so hard."
Meanwhile, Alfredo Garcia-Heredia finished in solo second place in the Mauritius Open. The Spanish golfer beat Julien Brun to earn a huge paycheck. The Spaniard split the two French golfers with a 12-under total.
