Ryan Gerard flew across two oceans to play in Mauritius. It paid off with a Masters invitation
- On Sunday, Jayden Schaper won the Mauritius Open in a playoff over Ryan Gerard by birdying three of his last four holes for an 8-under 64 and chipping in for eagle on the second playoff hole at Heritage La Reserve Golf Links.
- Ryan Gerard flew from Florida across two oceans to play the DP World Tour season finale in Mauritius because he needed a top-four finish for a Masters chance.
- Gerard's 63-66 weekend earned him a spot in the playoff where both players finished at 22-under-par, with Schaper shooting 64 and Gerard 66.
- Gerard returns home with an invitation to the Masters at Augusta National, while Schaper completed back-to-back DP World Tour titles with wins at the Alfred Dunhill Championship and Mauritius Open.
- Across two oceans to a small island, Gerard undertook an unusually long trip for a single event, as Mauritius is about 1,250 miles off Africa, where Schaper previously won the Nedbank and Alfred Dunhill.
