Richard Wallis snatched a dramatic victory in the Titleist PGA Play-Offs in Turkey.

The Walmer & Kingsdown professional player was crowned the PGA’s No.1 at Antalya Golf Club’s Sultan Course.

Wallis (pictured) delivered what proved to be the decisive blow with an eagle on the par-5 16th, having come off a bogey on 15.

Wallis secured the win by one shot with rounds of 65, 67 and 68 which left him 13-under for the tournament.

The Deal 30-year-old, who qualified for the event by retaining his PGA South Region Region Order of Merit title – only the second person to do so – won £2,000 but more significantly for his aspirations of getting on tour, earned starts in the BMW PGA Championship, Wales and Scottish Opens plus a handful of Challenge Tour events.

He said: "This is my first national title. Winning the South Region Order of Merit was probably the biggest result of my career to date and winning this is great – to be PGA No.1 is awesome.

"I want to use this as a launch pad. Greig Hutcheon, who won the Play-Offs last year, has had a great year in showing what you can do with the starts you get on tour.

"I don’t think he missed a cut in the events he played and got a decent amount of money so if I can follow his footsteps and make a few cuts and some money, that would be great."
