VICTOR DUBUISSON: I LOVE THIS PLACE  

The victory left the Frenchman in tears on the 18th green as he picked up his second European Tour victory and moved up to seventh in The Race to Dubai. "I love this place. It's so hard because there were so many personal reasons why I didn't play that much this year," he said. "It's not because I didn't want to play. I was really counting on this Final Series to give me some confidence back because I completely lost it a few months ago. I was just missing everything, Then I settled down and it was all about the putting." said Dubuisson.

The award ceremony was held on the 18th hole with the participation of Governor of Antalya Muammer Türker, former Minister of Foreign Affairs Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu, Chairman of Turkish Airlines İlker Aycı, President of the Turkish Golf Federation Ahmet Ağaoğlu. Chosen as the best amateur player of the tournament, local golfer Ali Altuntaş took an award also.
