England’s Greg Owen, who had been imperious through the first 14 holes of the final round, overcame a late attack of nerves to secure a sensational victory in the 2025 Mauritius Legends on the Legend Course at Constance Belle Mare Plage.
The Englishman opened his Sunday action with four straight birdies and was a remarkable 9-under-par through the 14th. He was leading the field by five strokes and in complete control of the tournament.
Whereupon it all went wrong.
A four-putt double bogey at the par-4 15th started the rot, a bogey-4 at the par-3 17th extended it, and two late birdies for India’s Jeev Milkha Singh drew him level at the top of the leaderboard as Owen played the par-5 final hole.
The situation had eerie echoes of the 2006 Bay Hill Invitational on the PGA Tour which should have been Owen’s greatest triumph when he held a lead deep into the final round. But instead he collapsed over the final two holes and said afterwards: “I don’t know how I’m going to deal with this.”
In the circumstances, then, the birdie Owen found to snatch Indian Ocean victory from the jaws of a repeat defeat was both spectacular and admirable.
His 18-under total of 198 left him that crucial one shot clear of Milkha Singh and the South African Darren Fichardt with the defending champion Peter Baker alone in fourth on 15-under.
Owen’s win was also the fifth by a former winner of the DP World Tour’s prestigious British Masters. He joins Baker, Colin Montgomerie, Barry Lane and Thomas Bjorn in having completed that double.
“I just felt calm and for 16 of 18 holes it was probably the best I’ve ever played,” said a relieved Owen. “The course is challenging and there’s trouble that can catch you out everywhere.”
He revealed that although his children don’t really like golf he hoped he had made them proud and added: “I’ve still got the drive and the will to come out next year with the same determination. I want to win more. I didn’t get over the line with a PGA Tour win so this helps and all the hard work is worth it.”
As always, the final event of the season saw the conclusion of other competitions. Australia’s Scott Hend lifted the John Jacobs Trophy having won the 2025 Order of Merit while Fichardt claimed the Barry Lane Rookie of the Year title.
