With all the action happening in America on Sunday, you may have missed the South African winning the Catalunya Championship. But what you'll want to see is his eye-popping final score: 28 under par, when his nearest competition was 14 under. Premlall, 22 and ranked 598th in the OWGR starting the week, went 63-63 on the weekend and came one shot away from tying Tiger Woods' European Tour margin-of-victory record at the 2000 U.S. Open. Even more mind-blowing, Premlall started at 500/1 odds, had missed 5 of 13 cuts in 2026 and hadn't sniffed a top-10 in months. But perhaps the craziest stat of all comes when we look at Strokes Gained, where he beat his own field by +24.78 strokes. Rick Gehman at RickRunGood.com compared that to the greatest performances on any tour since 1997, and this clocks in as the 10th-best in 30 years. The names above him include some heady company in Tiger and Phil, and double as a trip down memory lane.
