Trophee Hassan II 2016: Leaderboard Scores, Prize-Money Payouts

Jeunghun Wang prevailed in a play-off against Spain’s Nacho Elvira to secure the 2016 Trophee Hassan II after the pair had both finished at five under after 72 holes on Sunday.  

The Korean’s putting was quite brilliant, and he holed a 15-footer for birdie on the second of the sudden death play-off holes to claim a maiden European Tour triumph.

Here is what the final leaderboard looked like at the end of the final day’s action in Morocco:
