In the tournament held at the Albatross God Course, he posted 3 under 69 to finish on the 19^th under. He was one shot clear to Adri Arnaus who made a birdie on the last 3 holes but manage dot post 60 for the final round.

The last win for Pieters was back in 2015 at an event but in this tournament, he was in the one-shot lead for the final round. He wasted Birdie chances on the 4^th and 5^th holes but was able to make amends to these mistakes by rolling a 10 fee on the sixth hole and then missed by three feet to save pat on the 8^th hole.

On the 9^th hole, Pieters made a birdie that allowed him to be 2 shots clear to the former player of Ryder Cup to gain the ultimate advantage on the 12^th hole.

On the 16^th hole, Arnaus had a3-foot birdie while Pieters had a bogey-4 to have two lead on two play.

Pavan gave the victory a threatening challenge as he made birdies on 10^th, 12^th, and 15^th holes but with a penultimate-hole bogey, his hopes to win the tournament ended.
