John Parry won the Mauritius Open for the first DP World Tout title since 2010

England’s John Parry made an eagle and four birdies on his back nine to shoot a 64 on Sunday and win the Mauritius Open title at Mont Choisy Le Golf in 14 under, his first victory on the DP World Tour in 14 years.

Parry started the final round five shots back, but his birdie blitz on the back nine saw him overtake joint overnight leader Dylan Naidoo (71) and win by two shots.

Christo Lamprecht (65) from South Africa born in Naidoo also tied for second place in the 12-under.

“Today the course felt soft. It was a chip in on 12 (for eagle) that gave me a boost. I had a quick look at the leaderboard and thought I was going to go back,” Parry said.

“It’s so big (to win), five or six years ago I was close to giving up golf. It’s been a long battle, but it’s worth it.”

Parry’s previous win on the elite European circuit came at the Vivendi Cup in 2010, but he has won three times on the Challenge Tour this year.

Naidoo began his final round with three bogeys in his first four holes before recovering to sink four birdies, although by then he was well behind.

England’s Eddie Pepperell (74) also had a lead in the final round, but a double bogey on the par-5 fifth sent him back into a tie for ninth.
