'This means everything': Penge silences doubters with breakthrough DP World Tour Victory
Just eight weeks ago, Marco Penge was serving a suspension — the future of his professional golf career hanging in the balance. Today, he's a DP World Tour winner. In a powerful twist of fate, the 26-year-old Englishman lifted his maiden title at the Hainan Classic in China, holding his nerve down the stretch to clinch a three-shot victory over a strong field. His closing five-under 67 on the daunting Blackstone Course at Mission Hills sealed a 17-under-par total and a hard-earned win that will resonate far beyond the fairways. But this wasn't just a tournament victory — it was a redemption arc in real-time. From Ban to Breakthrough Penge's career came under scrutiny earlier this season when he was handed a two-month ban for placing bets on golf — a violation that could have derailed his progress indefinitely. But instead of shrinking from the spotlight, he returned with intent, sharpening his focus and embracing the pressure that followed him back onto the course. 'This means everything,' Penge said after his victory. 'After everything that happened, this was personal. I needed to prove it to myself that I could come back stronger — and to prove to others that I belong out here.' The victory not only salvaged a turbulent year but has earned him a golden ticket to next month's US PGA Championship, thanks to his third-place finish in the DP World Tour's Asian Swing standings. The Battle in China Heading into Sunday, Penge was tied at the top with China's Xiao Bowen, but early fireworks from America's Sean Crocker temporarily bumped the Englishman out of the lead. Trailing by one as he made the turn, Penge found his groove just when it mattered most. A blistering stretch of birdies at 12, 13, and 14 broke the deadlock and widened the gap. Cool under pressure, he played mistake-free golf the rest of the way, leaving Crocker and Norway's Kristoffer Reitan to share second place at 14 under. Crocker, despite a solid 66, lost steam on the back nine, while Bowen faded after his front-nine promise. But Penge, with everything to prove, played like a man with nothing to lose. A Team Effort Penge was quick to credit those who stood by him during the most difficult chapter of his career. 'My caddie has been everything — my anchor. And my wife, my team… I wouldn't be holding this trophy without them,' he said. 'Sometimes, the low points are what teach you who you really are.' What's Next? The DP World Tour now moves to Antalya, Turkey for the Turkish Airlines Open, teeing off from May 8–11 at the Regnum Carya Golf & Spa Resort — but all eyes will be on how Penge carries this momentum into the major spotlight. His return isn't just a comeback. It's a statement. Final leaderboard Here's a look at the top five golfers on the final leaderboard for the Hainan Classic 2025: T1. Marco Penge -17 T2. Kristoffer Reitan -14 T2. Sean Crocker -14 T4. Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen -13 T5. Martin Couvray -12

Marco Penge Goes From Doghouse to Penthouse With a Win in China
Marco Penge has been on a recent roller coaster ride, with a three-month suspension in December for betting on golf, to winning his first time on the DP World Tour on Sunday at the Hainan Classic in China. With a goal to make it to the PGA Championship next month at Quail Hollow, he teed it up in the final round, hoping to earn a spot and erase his three-month break from professional golf. Advertisement Positioned far down the Asian Swing rankings, Penge, who already has an exemption into The Open at Royal Portrush, knew he would have to do something extraordinary, which meant winning his first DP World Tour event. Marco Penge hits his tee shot on the 18th hole during a practice round of The Open Championship golf tournament at Royal Liverpool in 2023. Kyle Terada-Imagn Images Shooting a 5-under 67, which included seven birdies over a 9-hole stretch in the middle of the round, made the difference, defeating American Sean Crocker and Norwegian Kristoffer Reitan by three shots. 'This obviously means the world to me. It's something that I've always dreamt of achieving - winning on the biggest stage,' The 29-year-old Penge said. 'After my time off it was the thing that I wanted to really prove to myself and prove to everyone, to show what a player I am.' Advertisement When DP World Tour officials approached Penge about his betting, he always maintained that he bet on players only to win and never believed it violated the rules. "Back in April 2024 the Tour were informed by a betting agency that I had placed some bets on golf from 2022, with an overall average stake of £24 and total profit of c.£250. Sixty-eight per cent of the bets I placed were before I took the integrity programme education course in March 2023,' Penge said in a statement after his suspension and £2,000 fine was disclosed. Final Asian Swing Standings Rank Player Points 1 Keita Nakajima (Japan) 835.12 2 Eugenio Chacarra (Spain) 790.45 3 Marco Penge (England) 633.47 4 Ashun Wu (China) 607.40 5 Richard Mansell (England) 585.00 "All of my bets were positive bets (meaning betting on someone to win rather than lose) and a majority of them were in the majors and Ryder Cup. My bets were all for entertainment purposes to make watching golf more fun - just like most would do if it was something like the Grand National or other sporting events.' Advertisement The PGA Championship will be Penge's third career major, missing the cut in his previous two Open Championships. The visit to the Queen City will be Penge's third tournament on the PGA Tour in the United States. He missed the cut at the ISCO Championship and the Barracuda Championship. 'Before this Swing started, I said to my caddie, I think it was in Singapore, I said my goal is to get in the US PGA Championship, that's something that I'd love to do,' Penge recalled. 'Obviously coming here, I hadn't had a top five or anything like that, so I'd kind of forgotten about it a little bit, but it popped in my head last night. I thought, well, if I win tomorrow, maybe I might get in the PGA and I've already qualified for The Open. To be able to play against the best players in the world and see where I'm at compared to them would just be an unbelievable experience and something I'm looking forward to.'

Marco Penge is back from betting ban and wins his first European tour title
HAINAN ISLAND, China (AP) — Marco Penge of England closed with a 5-under 67 on Sunday for a three-shot victory in the Hainan Classic for his first European tour title, coming just two months after he returned from a ban for betting on golf. The win capped off a wild six months for Penge, which began with him narrowly keeping his European card and ended with him finishing third in the Asian Swing to earn a spot in the PGA Championship next month. Advertisement The European tour gave Penge a three-month suspension for betting on golf, though it determined he never bet on himself or on anyone in the tournaments he played. He was fined 2,000 pounds. The 26-year-old Penge held off an early charge from Sean Crocker on the front nine as Crocker fell back with too many bogeys and shot 66 to finish three back along with Kristoffer Reitan (67). Penge finished at 17-under 271. 'This obviously means the world to me,' Penge said, 'It's something that I've always dreamt of achieving, winning on the biggest stage. After my time off, it was the thing that I wanted to really prove to myself and prove to everyone, to show what a player I am.' Keita Nakajima won the Asian Swing on the European tour, followed by Eugenio Chacarra of Spain and Penge. All three earned a spot at Quail Hollow for the PGA Championship on May 15-18 in Charlotte, North Carolina. Penge also moved to No. 11 in the Race to Dubai. ___ AP golf:
