South African golfer Casey Jarvis claimed his first DP World Tour title at the Magical Kenya Open, carding an eight-under 62 in the final round to finish 25 under par at Karen Country Club in Nairobi. The 195th-ranked player sealed victory with an eagle on the 18th hole, adding to his earlier eagle at the par-four 12th.

Jarvis, who shared the lead in each of the first three rounds with different players, pulled away in the final round to win by three strokes. American Davis Bryant finished alone in second after a 64, while South Africa's Hennie du Plessis placed third with a 65. England's Nathan Kimsey tied for fifth at 19 under, with Matthew Jordan seventh at 18 under.

The victory marks a breakthrough moment for Jarvis, who expressed overwhelming emotion about winning in front of his father. "It's amazing, I've actually never won in front of my dad before," Jarvis said after securing the win. The tournament featured two weather delays but Jarvis maintained his composure, recovering from a bogey at 15 with a birdie at 17 before his clinching eagle at the final hole.
