Ryo Hisatsune twirled a 5-under 66 on Sunday at the Open de France, reaching 14-under 270 for the week to secure a two-shot victory, the first win of his DP World Tour career.

Hisatsune started a bit off the pace, entering the day in fifth place. When leader Jordan Smith opened with back-to-back birdies it looked like a done deal but Smith went on to swallow a trio of bogeys without circling any more birds. For Hisatsune, he traded seven birdies with a pair of bogeys on the day. “For me, I didn’t think I would win, but I just won! I’m feeling delighted, it’s my first win, I’m so happy. I fly back to Japan tomorrow. Maybe in business class, I don’t know!” With this win, the 21-year-old DP World Tour rookie climbs from 37th to 11th in the Race to Dubai standings.

DP World Tour rookie Ryo Hisatsune takes his talents to Leopard Creek Country Club for his debut at the Alfred Dunhill Championship.

The 20-year-old played his way onto the DP World Tour via Q School. He arrives on a run of stellar form, posting top 15s in 13 of his last 17 worldwide starts. That includes a T12 at the ZOZO Championship and a runner-up finish at the Australian PGA Championship. It sure looks like we have the potential for a breakout season for the youngster and gamers should keep riding the hot hand until he shows any sign of slowing down.
