Portuguese golfer Pedro Figueiredo wrapped up his run at the Hainan Open in China this Sunday. He finished tied for 15th place in the Challenge Tour event. The tournament itself saw an exciting finish with Italian Renato Paratore taking home the victory.
This win was a huge moment for Paratore. His triumph secured him a spot on the prestigious DP World Tour. It was a fiercely contested final round, especially for the top spot.
Paratore really turned it on during the final day. He carded an impressive 66 strokes, which catapulted him into the lead. He ended up with a total of 271 strokes. That score matched Austria’s Maximilian Steinlechner, forcing a sudden-death playoff. Paratore ultimately won that tie-breaker, sealing his promotion.
Figueiredo, 34 years old, played a solid final round. He submitted a scorecard of 71 strokes, which was one shot under the course’s par of 72. His total score for the entire event was 278 strokes. He found himself sharing that 15th position with four other golfers.
