Two strokes off the lead held by Min Woo Lee and Brooks Koepka entering the final round of the FedEx Open de France in Paris, Smylie made three birdies in succession late on the front nine to add his name to the list of contenders.
The reigning BMW Australian PGA champion trailed by just one when he birdied the par-4 14th and was tied with eventual champion Michael Kim at 15-under when the pair birdied the par-5 16th.
Kim’s birdie on 17 and impressive sand save at the par-3 18th from 16 feet would prove the difference, Smylie climbing into a share of second with a bogey-free 6-under 65.
It is the 23-year-old’s best finish in Europe and, with a rise to 14th in the Race to Dubai ranking, goes a long way to securing his place in the season-ending DP World Tour Championship in his rookie season.
Bosio’s runner-up finish at the Lavaux Ladies Open in Switzerland was her third of the season yet not quite enough to secure automatic promotion to the Ladies European Tour in 2026.
Co-leader after 36 holes, Bosio shot 71 in the final round to finish three back of Patricie Mackova and eighth on the Order of Merit.
The top seven at season’s end are elevated to the LET the following year, Bosio set to finish second also on the LET Access Series Rookie of the Year standings.
Heavy rain and an unplayable course at the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship denied Robyn Choi the chance to add to her outstanding season, she and fellow Gold Coaster Karis Davidson both tied for ninth when the tournament was reduced to just 18 holes.
West Australian Maddison Hinson-Tolchard is celebrating her best finish on the Ladies European Tour – third at the La Sella Open in Spain – and Travis Smyth continued his excellent form on the Asian Tour with a tie for seventh at the Yeangder TPC in Chinese Taipei.
