The story of the title

Neil takes the title

Neil collected a gross total of 37, outscoring Gal by four and leaving Chris an additional three back. There were no dramatic heroics, but Neil’s businesslike approach made the result feel inevitable without ever slipping into monotony. This round was a masterclass in straightforward golf: hit ball, find fairway, avoid anything distressingly creative. Neil left his competitors nodding in understated respect—or possibly just quiet bewilderment at where those shots were hiding.
