Renato Paratore has catapulted to second place on the Road to Mallorca Rankings following two weeks of golfing perfection in the United Arab Emirates on the HotelPlanner Tour.
The Italian secured his first victory for nearly five years at the UAE Challenge after firing a faultless seven under par final round of 65 in Ajman to reach 22 under par for the week and win by two strokes from South African JC Ritchie.
The two-time DP World Tour winner went on to triumph at the Abu Dhabi Challenge just seven days later to complete a spectacular couple of weeks in the Middle East and put himself into a strong position to regain his playing privileges on golf’s Global Tour.
Paratore now occupies second place on the Road to Mallorca Rankings with 664.8 points, 77.6 points behind fellow two-time winner Daniel van Tonder who remains in pole position.
19-year-old Joshua Berry sits in third position on 588.1 points after a terrific start to the campaign which has included a maiden victory at the Kolkata Challenge followed by a runner up finish at the Delhi Challenge. Fellow Englishman Jamie Rutherford is 131 points behind in fourth after he secured a first victory at the Cell C Cape Town Open in association with Honor at the start of the year, while South African Wilco Nienaber completes the top five.
