Story summary

Yuto Katsuragawa won the Genesis Championship by two strokes on Sunday, securing his second DP World Tour title at Woo Jeong Hills Country Club in Cheonan, South Korea. The Japanese golfer had an 8-under 63 in the third round to tie the course record and followed up with a more cautious even-par 71 in the final round. Katsuragawa's total score was 13-under 271, two shots ahead of French golfers Frederic Lacroix (68) and Martin Couvra (69), who tied for second at 11-under 273. South African golfer Casey Jarvis, who led after the third round but fell back to a tie for fourth, finished with a score of 10-under 274. This victory solidifies Katsuragawa's position in the DP World Tour and narrows the gap between him and leaders like Eugenio Chacarra, Patrick Reed, and Rory McIlroy in the Race to Dubai standings.
