At the 200th time of asking, Frenchman Adrien Saddier won his maiden DP World Tour title at the 2025 Italian Open, beating countryman Martin Couvra by two shots. He finished at 14-under-par, making five birdies in his last nine holes at Argentario Golf Club.
He finished four-under-par for the day, after a nervy front nine where he made two bogeys and one birdie.
In an emotional post-round interview, he said: "It's great. It's taken so much work to be able to do this. I'm just grateful. I started the back nine really good and I just said 'just stay in your own zone, just keep focused, make the putts'. And I did it."
Both Saddier and Couvra secured their places into the Open Championship at Royal Portrush next month, with the top two finishers given a special exemption into the year’s final major.
England’s Dan Bradbury recorded his second consecutive top-10 finishing in T3 at 10-under-par and was joined by Scotland’s Calum Hill after a final round of 68.
Spanish pair Angel Ayora and Eugenio Chacarra both finished for a tie of seventh at eight-under-par. Chacarra carded a 72, which included two double-bogeys, and will rue a missed opportunity to claim his second DP World Tour win.
