There was an emotional winner of the inaugural Hainan Classic on Sunday.
Englishman Marco Penge secured his first DP World Tour title at Mission Hills, in China, just weeks after returning from a betting ban.
The 26-year-old was given a three-month suspension in December for breaching integrity rules, and he insisted the win “means the world to me.”
“It’s something that I’ve always dreamt of achieving – winning on the biggest stage,” he said.
“After my time off it was the thing that I wanted to really prove to myself and prove to everyone, to show what a player I am.
“My caddie, through that time, has been my rock. And my wife and my whole team – I wouldn’t be where I am without them. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.”
Of course, the win also made Penge plenty richer. He banked just under €400,000 in prize money and even earned a place in next month’s PGA Championship, courtesy of the Asian Swing standings.
Japan’s Keita Nakajima topped that leaderboard and earned an extra $200,000.
Here’s the full prize money payout from the Hainan Classic…
