Casey Jarvis finishes birdie-eagle to land first DP World Tour title at Magical Kenya Open

Casey Jarvis clinched his first title on the DP World Tour with an impressive three-shot victory at the Magical Kenya Open at Karen Golf Club. 

After overcoming two Sunday suspensions in play for lightning, Jarvis, 22, came back to finish his round birdie-eagle for a stunning 8-under 62 and tournament record score of 25-under par. 

Jarvis was one shot clear of his playing partner Davis Bryant when play resumed after a near two-hour delay, but he quickly extended that to two shots when rolling home a 15-footer for birdie on the par-4 17th.

With a two-shot lead down the par-5 18th, Jarvis found the left side of the fairway, sent an 8-iron to 12 feet and then once again rolled in the eagle putt to bring the house down in front of his home African fans. 

Jarvis finished three shots clear of America's Bryant, who also recorded his best result on the DP World Tour. 

An emotional Jarvis immediately paid tribute to his father, who also acts as his golf coach. 

Jarvis had won twice on the Sunshine Tour and once on the Challenge Tour previously, but never before in front of his dad. 

"I've never won in front of my dad before so I wanted to do it so badly," Jarvis told Sky's Inci Mehmet on the 18th green. 

"I can't explain the emotions down the last two holes so it feels great." 

He added: "There aren't many words that can describe this feeling. My mum is back in the UK but dad has been with me through the ups and the downs and I know this moment doesn't happen often so we will celebrate tonight properly."

Jarvis now vaults to fourth in the Race to Dubai standings and International Swing standings. 

He becomes the second South African winner of the 2026 DP World Tour season, joining Jayden Schaper who won back to back tournaments at the Alfred Dunhill Championship and AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open. 

Jarvis' victory marks the 179th South African win in DP World Tour history. 

He collected a cool $459,000 for winning the 2026 Magical Kenya Open. 

Jarvis now heads into his home South African Open as a DP World Tour winner. 

Hennie du Plessis nearly holed out for albatross on the last but he tapped in for eagle to finish solo third on 21-under par. 

Francesco Laporta finished fourth on 20-under par, while Jacob Skov Olesen and Nathan Kimsey rounded out the top five on 19-under par. 

Patrick Reed remains out in front in the International Swing rankings, where there is a $200,000 bonus on the line.

Reed, who has won both the Dubai Desert Classic and Qatar Masters this season, confirmed this week he will compete in the remaining events of the International Swing - next week's South African Open and the following week's Joburg Open. 

It marks the first time ever that Reed has played in South Africa. 

Reed, who quit LIV Golf last month, has made it clear he has ambitions of winning the Race to Dubai and preventing Rory McIlroy from entering the record books this November.
