In an inspiring comeback story, South African Dylan Frittelli captured his first title in six years at the 2023 Bahrain Championship.
Frittelli started the final round with a two-shot lead but struggled midway through the round, making bogeys at the 7th and 12th to fall two-over par. For a player who missed 23 cuts last season on the PGA Tour, doubts may have crept in.
But the gritty veteran found his resolve. Back-to-back birdies at the 13th and 14th holes sparked his revival. Another birdie at the 16th vaulted Frittelli to a one-under par 71 and a winning total of 13-under par.
“It’s been a long road the last five or six years since I left the DP World Tour,” reflected a joyful Frittelli post round. Last season he contemplated walking away from the game after a string of poor results.
Yet the support of family and friends motivated Frittelli to persevere. His mental toughness and unwavering focus ultimately paved the way for a storybook ending in Bahrain.
Frittelli held off challenges from Sweden’s Jesper Svensson and South African Zander Lombard, who finished tied for second at 11-under. Two more South Africans, Ockie Strydom and Frederic Lacroix, shared fourth place at 9-under.
This emotional triumph highlights Frittelli’s determination and resilience. After hitting rock bottom in 2022, he now relishes his return to the winner’s circle. It just goes to show, hard work and perseverance can help golfers overcome obstacles and achieve their dreams.
