England’s John Parry fired a superb final-round 64 to win the Mauritius Open and clinch his first DP World Tour title in 14 years.<\/b><\/p>\n

Having started his last round five shots back, Parry hit seven birdies and an eagle to finish on 14 under – two strokes clear of South African duo Dylan Naidoo and Christo Lamprecht.<\/p>\n

It was the 38-year-old’s first tour win since his victory at the Vivendi Cup in Sweden in 2010.<\/p>\n

Three victories on the 2024 Challenge Tour helped Parry back on to the DP World Tour, but he admitted he had considered quitting golf during his time on the third-tier EuroPro Tour. <\/p>\n

Asked what the victory in Mauritius meant to him, Parry, who finished joint-second at last week’s Alfred Dunhill Championship<\/a>, told Sky Sports: “It’s massive.<\/p>\n

“I don’t know how long ago, maybe five or six years ago when I was back on the EuroPro… I was close to giving up golf. <\/p>\n

“It’s been a long battle back but worth every moment for this week.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
