Finale in Mauritius:
Marshall Chasing Top-Ten Glory as Legends Tour Season Closes

Andrew Marshall’s charge to cling on to a coveted top-ten position in this year’s Legends Tour Order of Merit has become one of the defining stories of the season’s conclusion. Currently sitting 10th, Marshall knows that every shot now carries real consequence — not just for how his season ends, but for the opportunities that lie ahead in 2026.

He made the perfect start with a three-under-par 69, a composed opening round built on five birdies and two bogeys, instantly underlining both his form and his nerve under pressure. It was a confident statement of intent as he battles to protect his place inside that crucial top ten.

His maiden Legends Tour victory earlier this season remains the standout moment of a true breakthrough campaign. That first win didn’t just deliver a trophy — it delivered belief. Marshall has moved from being a steady contender to a proven winner, and that momentum has carried him through the pressure moments of this season.

Now, as the Order of Merit race reaches its climax in Mauritius at the Legends Tour Final, the stakes could not be higher. A top-ten finish not only caps off a superb season in style, it also unlocks major rewards. Those inside the elite group earn the opportunity to receive invites to play in some events in the USA on the Champions Tour in 2026 — a rare chance to test himself against the very best senior players in the world.

For Marshall, this is about more than numbers beside his name. It is the reward for perseverance, self-belief, and an unwavering commitment to his game. Securing his place inside the top ten would not only validate his first win — it would confirm that his season was the foundation for something even bigger.

Adding an extra layer of intrigue to the week is the sight of Andrew Marshall’s close friend, Mark Mouland, leading the field after a sensational opening round of 64. While Marshall fights to secure his crucial Order of Merit position, Mouland has set the early pace at the very top of the leaderboard.

It creates a compelling dynamic: one man chasing career-defining opportunity, the other charging for victory. A thrilling second round lies ahead.

Well played, Mark — and the very best of luck to both men as the tournament unfolds.
