Tanapat Pichaikool Wins IGPL Morocco Rising Stars by Two Shots

This result alters player momentum, with direct implications for entry lists at Mazagan ahead of the US$500,000 Bharat Classic next week.

Overview

  • Thailand’s Tanapat Pichaikool closed out the IGPL Morocco Rising Stars at Mazagan with a two‑shot victory after a headline eight‑under 64 earlier in the event and a closing 2‑under 70.
  • Bangladesh veteran Siddikur Rahman finished second after birdieing the 18th, a shot that secured him a place in next week’s US$500,000 Bharat Classic on the same course.
  • Teenager Kartik Singh was the top Indian at tied‑12th after rounds of 71‑66‑71‑71, but a double bogey on the par‑3 13th and a bogey on 16 cost him a chance at a top‑five finish.
  • Mazagan Beach & Golf Resort will host back‑to‑back higher‑purse events after the Rising Stars, starting with the Asian Tour’s Bharat Classic and followed by the US$2 million International Series Morocco.
  • Tanapat, 26, who last won the Toyota Tour Championship in November 2024 and narrowly missed a full Asian Tour card last year, gains momentum and local course knowledge that could affect his chances in the upcoming Asian Tour events.
