DP World Tour: Tom McKibbin records fifth top 20 of season as Matthew Baldwin wins in South Africa

Jordan Spieth and Tommy Fleetwood one off the lead at Valspar Championship on PGA Tour

Matthew Baldwin stormed to a seven-shot victory at the SDC Championship 2023, producing a final-day masterclass to secure a first DP World Tour title in his 200th event.

Baldwin’s 11-year journey to the winner’s circle has contained plenty of ups and downs, with illness forcing him to cut his campaign short in 2015.

But he made the final stretch look easy as he marched to victory at St Francis Links on Sunday, signing for a closing 68 to finish the tournament on 18 under par.

Spaniard Adri Arnaus finished alone in second on 11 under after making seven birdies and two bogeys in his closing 67.
