Jordan Gumberg has won the Hainan Classic for his second European tour victory
HAINAN ISLAND, China — Jordan Gumberg got up-and-down for par on the final hole Sunday for a 2-under 70 to hold off Jorge Campillo of Spain and win the Hainan Classic. It was the second European tour title for the 30-year-old American.
Gumberg also won in South Africa in 2024, but it was his finish late last season that allowed for his moment on Hainan Island. Gumberg was on the verge of losing his European tour card when he holed out for eagle on the final hole of the Genesis Championship in South Korea, which enabled him to move into the top 115 in the Race to Dubai and keep his full card for 2026. “After the finish of last year, to be standing on the podium again and holding a trophy is unreal,” said Gumberg, who finished his college golf at Arizona and was runner-up to Jon Rahm in the Pac-12 Championship in 2016. “It's incredible.” Campillo closed with a 71 and had birdie chances on the final three holes to catch Gumberg, all of them narrowly missing. Zhou Yanhan, the 17-year-old from China who played the Puerto Rico Open on the PGA Tour two weeks ago, closed with a 69 to tie for third with Adrian Otaegui of Spain and Marcus Armitage of England . ___ AP golf: https://apnews.com/hub/golf
