The BMW PGA Championship is the biggest tournament on the DP World Tour and carries a monster $9million purse and important Race to Dubai ranking points.<\/p>\n
The Wentworth event needed a play-off hole to determine the victor, with Alex Noren claiming his second BMW PGA Championship title by beating runner-up Adrien Saddier with a close-range birdie.<\/p>\n
England\u2019s Aaron Rai was tied for third with Patrick Reed, while European Ryder Cup trio Tyrrell Hatton, Matt Fitzpatrick and Viktor Hovland all ended on 15 under.<\/p>\n
Jon Rahm finished 13th with a six-under 66, while Rory McIlroy\u2019s final round 65 saw him tied for 20th.<\/p>\n
The DP World Tour will now travel to the FedEx Open de France at Golf de Saint-Nom-La-Breteche, which begins on Thursday, September 18.<\/p>\n
Vice captain Noren looking forward to Ryder Cup<\/p>\n
\u201cThe play-off felt a little bit easier than maybe the 72nd hole, a little bit better conditions,\u201d Noren said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI thought I hit that one in the water, but I had a great lie so I tried to put it up here on the right side of the green and then got fortunate with a good break that the chip was sitting quite nicely.<\/p>\n
\u201cI saw his ball didn\u2019t catch as nice a break maybe, so it makes a difference. Sometimes it comes to you easy and sometimes you\u2019ve just got to fight. Today it felt like a fight. I think he probably outplayed me tee to green, but that\u2019s how it goes.<\/p>\n
\u201cSometimes you have to fight and today was like that. I like coming back to Europe and trusted the process. In terms of the Ryder Cup (Noren is a European vice-captain) the other guys have been playing better than me. I\u2019m really looking forward to that match, I can\u2019t wait.\u201d<\/p>\n
