DP WORLD TOUR · SWITZERLAND · SEPTEMBER 2026
A Sunday 62. Four playoff holes. A Swiss top-ten finish. Thriston Lawrence made history in one of golf’s most spectacular settings.
Some golf tournaments are about the leaderboard. Others are about the place. The Omega European Masters manages to be both. Against the Swiss Alps at Crans-sur-Sierre Golf Club, Thriston Lawrence produced a remarkable Sunday to become a three-time champion in Crans-Montana.
THE FINAL ROUND
SIX SHOTS BACK.
ONE ROUND TO CHANGE EVERYTHING.
Lawrence entered Sunday six shots behind Paul Casey after a three-over 73 on Saturday.
Then everything changed.
A brilliant final-round 62 took Lawrence to 18 under par and set the clubhouse target.
Casey arrived at the 18th with the opportunity to win in regulation, but a dropped shot sent the championship into extra holes.
BOGEY.
18 UNDER.
PLAYOFF.

SUNDAY DRAMA
FOUR EXTRA HOLES.
One playoff hole wasn’t enough. Neither was two. Or three.
Lawrence and Casey continued to match each other until the fourth extra hole finally produced the winner.
Lawrence made the decisive birdie and completed another unforgettable week in the Swiss Alps.
TOURNAMENT OVER.
HISTORY MADE.
LAWRENCE × CRANS
2025.
2026.
Three victories in Crans-Montana. Lawrence joined Seve Ballesteros as one of only two players since 1972 to win the Omega European Masters three times.
HOME STORY
SWISS MOMENT.
Joel Girrbach gave the home crowd something to celebrate. The Swiss player closed with a brilliant 65 to finish at 15 under and share ninth place.
His round included an eagle at the short par-four seventh as he produced one of the strongest performances of the final day.
EAGLE.

CRANS IS
DIFFERENT.
It’s not a tournament that happens to have mountains in the background.
The setting is part of the tournament.
The altitude. The terraces. The walk between holes. The crowds close to the action. The history of European golf at Crans-sur-Sierre.
A Sunday 62. A Swiss top-ten finish. Four playoff holes. And a champion joining Seve Ballesteros in the history books.
There are bigger tournaments in golf.
There aren’t many that look like this.
