Yuto Katsuragawa secures his second DP World Tour title with a two-shot victory at the Genesis Championship in South Korea
CHEONAN, South Korea -- Yuto Katsuragawa secured his second DP World Tour title with a two-shot victory at the Genesis Championship in South Korea on Sunday.
A day after a flawless 8-under 63 in the third round to tie the course record at Woo Jeong Hills Country Club, the Japanese player shot a more circumspect even-par 71 in the final round as he maintained his a comfortable advantage in the final holes, despite a tap-in bogey at the last.
The 28-year-old Katsuragawa had a four-round total of 13-under 271, two shots ahead of French pair Frederic Lacroix (68) and Martin Couvra (69) with 11-under 273.
South African golfer Casey Jarvis (72) who was in second place going into Sunday's championship round fell back into a tie for fourth place with seven other players, including British Open champion Ryan Fox (70) at 10-under 274.
Jarvis was seeking a third win of the 2026 season, after the Kenya Open and South African Open in February, to close in on the top three in the Race to Dubai standings — Eugenio Chacarra, Patrick Reed and Rory McIlroy.
Reed and McIlroy did not compete this week. Chacarra, who is No. 1 in the standings after winning in India last week, finished seven shots back at 6-under 278 and tied for 22nd.
There are two more events left in the European tour season, in Abu Dhabi and then Dubai.
