The Englishman had packed enough clothes to last him the week and travelled to the event with his mother. With the win, Bradbury gains full status on the DP World Tour, as well as a spot in the 2023 Open Championship at Royal Liverpool — where he will be joined by Välimäki and Bezuidenhout, who secured the other two qualifying spots on offer.

Although Välimäki’s long birdie-putt at the 15th briefly cut the lead to two strokes, Bradbury looked in full control, responding immediately with a birdie of his own at the par-three 16th to restore his lead to three — a lead he would not relinquish.
