Yannik Paul Player Profile And What's In The Bag

YANNIK Paul secured his maiden DP World Tour title after a dramatic finish to the Mallorca Golf Open.

Paul birdied the last to post a one-over 72 at Son Muntaner Golf Club and end the week on 15 under, a shot ahead of fellow German Nicolai von Dellinghausen and England's Paul Waring.

Dale Whitnell shared fourth spot with overnight co-leader Ryan Fox, while Marcus Armitage squandered a two-shot lead over the final three holes to finish three strokes back in tied-sixth.

"I couldn't have dreamed of a better ending, so I'm over the moon," Paul said. "To finish like this is obviously a dream come true - I couldn't have asked for any better. I'm speechless, I'm just so happy.”

Paul turned pro in 2018 and played on the Challenge Tour in 2021, finishing ninth in the Race to Mallorca to gain his DP World Tour card. He has played consistently well throughout 2022, finishing second at the Soudal Open and eighth at the Open de Espana and at the French Open.
