French Martin Couvra wins maiden title in Türkiye

Antalya, 12th May, 2025 (WAM) — French golfer Martin Couvra continued his impressive start to life on the DP World Tour with a maiden victory at the Turkish Airlines Open.

The 22-year-old graduated from the HotelPlanner Tour last season and had already posted four top-ten finishes this term, including fifth place at the Hainan Classic last time out.

A brilliant closing 64 saw him claim victory at Regnum Carya with a 17-under-par total, two shots ahead of China’s Haitong Li and Spain’s Jorge Campillo.

Couvra had led at the halfway stage but a third-round 72 left him four shots off the pace going into the final round.

“It was amazing to win on my first year on the DP World Tour – it’s just a dream,” said Couvra. “I wake up in the morning to win some tournaments and to win early (in my DP World Tour career) is fantastic so really happy about that.”
