In a frantic final round characterized by a four-way share of the lead on the back nine, Bradbury’s closing 65 proved just enough to secure a one-shot win. The Englishman's defining moment came at the 72nd hole; after overshooting the green with his approach, he executed a sensational recovery chip to within inches of the cup, tap-ins for par to finish at 17-under.
This victory mirrors his 2022 triumph at the same venue, solidifying his reputation as a Houghton specialist. The day was one of heartbreak for the overnight leader and the chasing pack.
Hennie du Plessis, who maintained a three-shot lead through the turn, saw his challenge evaporate with a disastrous run of four dropped shots on the back nine, eventually finishing fourth. Casey Jarvis’ bid for a historic third consecutive win fell agonizingly short as he missed a 10-foot birdie putt on the 18th that would have forced a playoff.
Jarvis shared second place at 16-under with Brandon Robinson Thompson, who also surrendered a late lead with a bogey at the last. David Ravetto rounded out the top five, while Alex Fitzpatrick and Adrian Otaegui finished among those tied for sixth.
