Twenty two-year-old South African (SA) golfer, Yurav Premlall, delivered one of the most commanding performances in the history of the DP World Tour, winning his maiden tournament by a massive margin of 14 shots.<\/p>\n
Premlall made his breakthrough at the Catalunya Championship in Barcelona, Spain, with a winning score of 28-under par.<\/p>\n
His 14-shot winning margin is a new record for a first-time winner, beating the previous record held by Tiger Woods.<\/p>\n
Premlall started the final round with a 5-shot lead.<\/p>\n
He is a rookie on tour, and before this tournament, his best finish was 19th.<\/p>\n
He would\u2019ve been forgiven if there were some nerves, instead, he handled the situation like a seasoned professional.<\/p>\n
Premlall made 4 birdies in his opening 5 holes, and after birdies on 8 and 9, he opened up a 13-shot advantage.<\/p>\n
After that, it was just a question of how big a margin he would win by.<\/p>\n
At the end, he signed for a 9-under par 63, and he never took anything for granted during his round.<\/p>\n
Premlall is the 3rd SA in his early 20\u2019s to win a maiden title on the DP World Tour this season, joining Jayden Schaper and Casey Jarvis.<\/p>\n
