As Jesper Svensson sank his winning putt at the Porsche Singapore Classic on March 24, the golfer merely smiled and lifted his hands in jubilation.
His muted celebrations were understandable for the Swede had just gone through three holes of their play-off en route to capturing his maiden DP World Tour title, but it did not fully encapsulate what this victory meant to him.
Having finished runner-up twice on the ongoing 2023-24 DP World Tour season, Svensson was determined not to let history repeat itself at Laguna National Golf Resort Club's Classic Course.
In an impressive final-day display, the rookie fired a nine-under 63 for a 17-under 271 total, before beating Kiradech Aphibarnrat in the play-off.
Svensson was second at the South African Open Championship in December 2023, losing by three strokes, and was second again at the Bahrain Championship in February, this time by two shots. He also finished second three times on the Challenge Tour in 2023.
