FORCED LAY-UP

Levy and Jarvis rip drives down the middle of the fairway at the par-5 15th, but Gerard has sailed one into the right rough. He won’t be able to go for the green in two now, you’d have thought.

A chance for the chasing pair to pile some pressure on…

LEVY ON THE WAY BACK

After a triple-bogey at the sixth, Alexander Levy is finding his groove again. He’s rolled one in for birdie, touching it down the hill and leaving a good foot or two of break.

Gerard comes up short from a similar position, somehow, but he remains bogey-free with five birdies doing the job for him.

Casey Jarvis also makes birdie and is now within three of the lead. Two-under for the day and 18-under for the week.

THREE EXCELLENT SHOTS

The final group make the 178-yard par-3 back into the strong wind look easy with a hat-trick of excellent strikes. Alexander Levy – who needs a high finish to try and retain his playing rights – and Gerard are 15 feet past the flag while Casey Jarvis has 10 feet up the slope.

NO DRAMA

Gerard can’t make his birdie putt from six feet or so and he taps in for a par. While that might be slightly disappointing, the American still has a two-stroke cushion with five holes to play.

SAVE FROM SCHAPER

At the par-3 14th, Schaper comes up short of the green into the wind and is forced to rely on his short game to escape with par. He duly does so after clipping a chip to within a few inches of the hole.

LOW ROUTE

With the wind really driving on at the moment, Gerard goes low and a little left from off the 13th green, using the contours of the surface to help move his ball back towards the flag. It’s a good effort and he will have a nice chance for birdie once more.

DRIVEABLE PAR 4

The 13th is 325-yard downhill par 4 which is certainly driveable with the wind behind today. Similar to TPC San Antonio, there is a little bunker right in the middle of the putting surface which players are trying to avoid sitting the wrong side of.

Gerard has gone long and left with his tee shot, but he should be able to loft one over the sand and come away with par at worst.

GERARD DRAINS IT

Gerard waits for the wind to die down a little before firmly pushing his birdie putt into the hole. He’s up to 21-under.

And that’s massive for the American as Schaper pushes his birdie try at the 13th wide right. Gerard has a two-stroke lead once again.

LEADER MISSES FOR EAGLE

Gerard reached the back of the 12th green in two and had a monster eagle try ahead of him. He’s left himself an awkward birdie putt, but with Schaper in close a hole ahead, he might need to make this to retain his lead…

WELCOME

Hello and welcome to Golf Monthly’s coverage of the 2025 AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open final round.

Ryan Gerard is on course to win his first outright DP World Tour title, following success at the co-sanctioned Barracuda Championship earlier this season, but he’s being pushed hard by Jayden Schaper who won the Alfred Dunhill Championship last week.

After waiting so long for his first DP World Tour title, could the South African win back-to-back? We’re not far from finding out. Seven holes to play.

Away from the leaders, South Africa’s Zander Lombard has just finished his final round – it was a simply remarkable 10-under 62 to rocket himself up into the top-10.. He’s currently T4th after finishing on 15-under.
