Another leader, Julien Guerrier, performed outstandingly and shot the best score of this round, 9-under-par. On the front nine, he played well. He birdied on holes 2-4 consecutively and then added another birdie on hole 6. Turning to the back nine, this French player showed a textbook-level performance.

Finally, he got a flawless scorecard of 9-under-par. Regarding this performance, he said: "I hit two great shots on the par-5 holes and had a bit of luck. I didn't play very well, but the game ended well." Regarding the final round, he said: "This is not a sprint in the championship but a marathon. So I just try to enjoy every moment. Try to play well and stay focused." Ashun Wu performed well in these two rounds. On the front nine of this round, he birdied on holes 2 and 6 first. But then on hole 7, his tee shot deviated from the fairway and unfortunately he made a bogey. Entering the back nine, he played smoothly.

Final Round

In the final round of the Andalucía Masters, Julien Guerrier and Jorge Campillo engaged in a fierce battle. With a total score of -21, they dragged the game into a playoff and fought until the end. After a nine-hole playoff, Julien Guerrier defeated Jorge Campillo and won the championship successfully. Daniel Brown ranked third alone with a score of -19. Rasmus Højgaard and Jordan Smith were tied for fourth place with a total score of -18. French player Julien Guerrier and Spanish player Jorge Campillo entered the final round tied for the lead with a three-shot advantage. The two players in the same group in the final round started competing with each other from the tee shot. The competition for the championship had already become a battle between the two. The two players caught three birdies each on the front nine holes in perfect unison. After the turn, Julien Guerrier was the first to bogey on hole 10 and then double bogeyed on hole 13, temporarily falling behind Jorge Campillo. However, then Jorge Campillo bogeyed on holes 12, 15, and 18 respectively. The two players also caught two birdies each on the back nine. Thus, their scores were always indistinguishable and the game could only go to a playoff. After three rounds of playoffs on hole 18, the two players always maintained par scores and it was hard to tell the winner. The tournament organizers decided to change the playoff hole to holes 17 and 18. So the two started a repetitive back-and-forth between holes 17 and 18. The two were competing with each other. Julien Guerrier was for his first victory, and Jorge Campillo was shouldering the glory of a victory on home soil. Neither of them was willing to make a single mistake and lose the championship. Until Julien Guerrier and Jorge Campillo stood on hole 17 for the third time. This time, the two still ended with par on the par-3 hole 17. Then on the next hole 18, Jorge Campillo made a mistake and bogeyed. After a nine-hole playoff, the two finally separated the winner. Although there was a winner, the two players who are only one year apart are even more respectable opponents to each other. This is the first DP World Tour championship in the career of 39-year-old Julien Guerrier. After the game, he was extremely excited and also expressed his respect for his opponent: "It feels great. I can't believe I did it. Because I have been waiting for a long time. We work hard for this every week, but we must be patient. I know Jorge Campillo is a great player, but today I succeeded, so I am very happy." Ashun Wu pulled his form to the best in the final round and got an eagle, three birdies and one bogey for a 4-under-par score in a single round. After the final round, he pulled his ranking up by 16 places to tied for 20th place. His total score is -10. After his wonderful performance in this tournament, Ashun Wu successfully raised his ranking on the Dubai Duty Free Rankings from 121st to 113rd. According to the latest ranking situation, to obtain a DP World Tour card for next season, he needs to keep his ranking within the top 114. Ashun Wu is currently within the range of retaining his card. Next week, the last tournament before the playoffs of this season is coming. All players are gearing up to retain their cards. No one can predict the changes on the Dubai Duty Free Rankings. Ashun Wu still needs to maintain a good form and compete for the card for next season. Spanish player Jon Rahm shot an eagle, four birdies and one bogey for a 5-under-par score in the final round. He ranked sixth alone with a total score of -17. At present, his ranking on the Dubai Duty Free Rankings has risen to 33rd.
