Elson returned a level-par 72 to join fellow Englishmen Joe Heraty and Luke Joy in a three-way tie for fifth place on 9-under, and that was good enough for him to seal the prestigious Order of Merit title ahead of Sturehed... The top three professionals on the Order of Merit and the leading amateur will be invited to compete in the 2018 Omega Dubai Desert Classic in addition to earning full playing privileges on the Sunshine Tour and exemptions into the Final Stage of the Asian Tour Q-School.
