In the final round at the Kota Seriemas Golf & Country Club, amateur golfer Ezekiel Riz delivered a remarkable four-under-par performance to claim victory at the PGM Tour Qualifying School 2025. His steady play and strategic approach throughout the tournament culminated in a well-earned win.
Reflecting on his triumph, Ezekiel credited his early momentum for setting the tone. “It started off with back-to-back birdies on holes 1 and 2, which gave me the confidence to win today,” he shared. “I stuck to my game plan, kept hitting the fairways, and didn’t put extra pressure on myself. That approach worked well this week.”
Ezekiel’s disciplined play was evident in his final round, where he recorded five birdies and just one bogey.
