Bradbury won the tournament by one stroke over Thorbjorn Olesen, Sam Bairstow, Yannik Paul, and Jeff Winther. Bradbury carded an aggregate score of 16-under 268 in four rounds.

On the par-4 12th hole in the third round, Bradbury made a clean tee shot. As the camera follows the ball in the video shared on X (formerly Twitter), a commentator says,

"A little slider down there."

In response, another commentator calls it a "monster."

"Yeah. A drive and a 9-iron today, maybe a wedge. That is a monster."

The commentator then mentions that despite the ball landing in a narrow section of the hole, the ball is in a "perfect lie" for the next shot.

The English golfer carded 67 and 66 in the first two rounds to be positioned on the top of the leaderboard. He then carded 69 and 66 in the final two rounds of the 2024 Open de France.

He was positioned 98th in the Race to Dubai standings before the tournament. After the win, he gained 835 points and jumped 73 spots to 25th. Following his win, Dan Bradbury said (via European Tour):

"It hasn’t sunk in at all. The goal this week was to make the cut so I didn’t have to go to Korea (needing to) keep my card.

"I remember looking at one point, playing with Gunner (Wiebe) and Joe (Dean), they were both two shots behind me and I was second and they were, like, 14th. Part of me was just thinking, 'well, don't drop a few!' It was just, stay in it – we all know the finish round here, anything can happen, and it almost did."

This is Bradbury's second DP World Tour win in the 56th start. He won a prize money of €505,265.12. His first victory came at the 2022 Joburg Open by three strokes over Sami Valimaki.
