Kipp Popert claimed a fourth G4D Tour title in dominant fashion, winning by five shots from Chris Biggins at the G4D @ Estrella Damm N.A. Andalucia Masters.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The World Number Two got to five under par after rounds of 68 and 69 – including the first hole in one in G4D Tour history on Monday – around the notoriously tricky Real Club Valderrama, in the penultimate event of the season.<\/p>\n

American Biggins finished on level par, fighting back from a four over par opening round, with local favourite Juan Postigo Arce one shot further back in third place.<\/p>\n

The win is Popert\u2019s fourth in the space of six months, adding to his successes at the G4D @ Betfred British Masters hosted by Danny Willett, G4D @ Porsche European Open and G4D @ BMW PGA Championship.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cI\u2019ve been telling all the members at my home course all year that I was looking forward to this one the most because the Tour pros say it\u2019s the toughest test they have. Coming in here I had no idea what to expect, I just told myself not to get angry at any point \u2013 if I was in trouble, just get it back in play.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe course suits me as my wedge play is very strong. When I had a wedge in hand I had a lot of looks, so it was really nice to be under par.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love checking leaderboards, but I only checked it on the 15th, the par three, I had just missed a six footer. I wish I has known the leaderboard before then. My friend Chris (Biggins) had told me at the start of the week that this was his course, and he was five under then. I thought, OK we might need to make a few birdies coming in.<\/p>\n

\u201cI got to 17, absolutely smoked a drive, a nine iron pin high, and then rolled in a big left to right putt.\u201d<\/p>\n

Popert will be joined next month at the G4D Tour Series Finale @ DP World Tour Championship by fellow winners from this season Mike Browne and Tommaso Perrino, with the remainder of the ten-player field to be confirmed on October 23, based on the WR4GD (World Rankings) published on October 19.<\/p>\n

The Englishman said: \u201cThe final event is going to be brilliant. I\u2019ve only been to Dubai once, for the tournament last year. I\u2019ll go out a few weeks before and practice. It\u2019s an awesome place to play golf, so I\u2019m really looking forward to it.\u201d<\/p>\n
