Laurie Canter saved his best until last as he beat Pablo Larrazábal and Dan Brown in a play-off to win the 2025 Bapco Energies Bahrain Championship and claim his second DP World Tour title.

The Englishman had looked like coming up just short after carding an eagle and a birdie in a flawless 69 to share the clubhouse lead on 14 under.

But he was given a lifeline when leader Larrazábal bogeyed the last to set up a play-off with Canter and countryman Brown.

And he took full advantage, producing a shot-of-the-day contender at the first extra hole to give himself a close-range birdie putt.

Canter made no mistake, nervelessly sinking the winning putt to enter the DP World Tour winner’s circle for the second time in a year, after his maiden victory at the European Open last season.

Larrazábal and Brown shared second place on 14 under, one shot ahead of Martin Couvra, Ivan Cantero, Richie Ramsay and David Puig following a thrilling final round.

The former LIV Golfer started the day two shots off the lead and parred the opening five holes before his round sprang into life at the par-four sixth as he secured a stunning hole-out eagle.

After seven more pars, Canter nearly repeated the trick at the 14th but instead had to settle for a tap-in birdie to move to 14 under.

He was unable to make any more birdies coming in, but when Larrazábal missed his six-foot par putt on the last, Canter seized his opportunity in the play-off, producing a delightful tee-shot before spinning his approach to tap-in range to win the trophy.
