The 27-year-old Golf Saudi ambassador started the final round at the K Club seven shots back of Australian Lachlan Wood, who had opened with a two under 70 on Sunday.

However, while most of the field struggled with the blustery conditions in Co. Kildare, Popert made four birdies in a bogey-free final round to end the week one over par and two shots clear of Ireland’s Brendan Lawlor.

“It feels amazing, to play the way I did today when I wasn’t playing my best yesterday,” he said.

“I didn’t think I’d be the winner after yesterday’s round, but my dad told me to press on yesterday. I woke up this morning and did just that.

“I was looking forward to the third hole today. I hit an eight iron there yesterday just right of the green and couldn’t find the ball. Today I was so determined to birdie it.”

The G4D Tour returned to the Island of Ireland for the first time since the 2022 event at Mount Juliet Estate, Thomastown, which was won by England’s Mike Brown.

After tasting victory in the country for the first time, Popert praised Golf Ireland’s involvement in making the 2025 edition happen.

“Golf Ireland and what Brendan has done for the last seven years, he really is the pioneer for it, to provide more opportunities for us,” the 27-year-old added. “I am extremely grateful to them and they’re an example for golfing federations to follow.

“I couldn’t miss this week at the K Club. I remember watching Rory McIlroy hit a three-wood here and absolutely loved it. I’ve got Irish relatives who came out to watch today, so I always like Ireland.”

After winning four times last season on the G4D Tour, Popert endured a slow start to 2025 after undergoing surgery on his foot.

Now, with the G4D Tour heading to Wentworth next week for the G4D @ BMW PGA Championship, the Englishman is looking to kick in the remaining events of the season.

“I’ve got Wentworth in a week and Q School tomorrow; I’ll try and get through four rounds there,” he added

“I had an operation at the start of the year which took me out for a long time and the foot is still a bit sore.

“Honestly, I am just enjoying golf a lot more after not being able to walk at the start of the year. This is my passion, and I want to make sure there are opportunities for the next generation.”

Wood ends the week in solo third on seven over par, six shots ahead of Englishman Thomas Blizzard, who finishes on eleven over par and in fourth.

The G4D Tour @ BMW PGA Championship will take place from September 8-9 where Popert will be eyeing a fourth career victory at Wentworth.
