ACHTUNG MACAO

All attention to Macau and Germany's Dominic Foos' victory at the SJM Macao Open.

- 

Dominic Foos' win at the SJM Macao Open 2025 was the first by a German on the Asian Tour since his illustrious compatriot Bernhard Langer 29 years ago. The 28-year-old from Karlsruhe defeated Chinese-Taipei's Wang Wei-hsuan on the second hole of a sudden-death playoff on the iconic par-five 18th at Macau Golf & Country Club for his maiden Asian Tour win.

Foos drained a 10-foot birdie putt to win after Wang missed his attempt for a four - in what was sixth playoff in the history of the event. The pair had finished tied on 17 under, with Foos - who started the day six behind overnight leader Sarit Suwannarut from Thailand - shooting a seven-under-par 63, while Wang closed with a 62.

China's Wenyi Ding carded a 67 to finish solo third, one stroke back, with Sarit shooting a disappointing 73 to finish alone in fourth.

Foos was in the fourth from last group out and like Wang was bogey free. He made seven birdies, crucially on the last two holes of regulation play. “I gotta say, I didn’t really look at the result.” the leaderboard all day," said Foos.

He's spent much of his career playing on Europe's Challenge Tour, where he won an event 10 years ago, but he now has a two-year exemption to play on the Asian Tour.

He added: “I’ve always been a hard worker. That's never been the issue, but obviously, with the support of my family, especially my dad, some very close friends, and you know, I got to give a big shout out to Mr. Kramski as well.
