Jon Baker completed the double at Praia D'El Rey, taking the 2024 TEG Trophy and the 2024 TEG Green Jacket. It is the seventh time in TEG history that one player has landed both in the same edition. He did it while posting two quadruple bogeys: a 9 at the 10th, and another 9 at the 17th, the hardest hole on the course. A lesser man would have been embarrassed. Baker simply carried on and won everything. The same round returned the best Stableford score and the best gross score of the day, in a field spanning 40 points down to 29, and 19 over to 38 over. The card was a study in extremes. A double bogey and two early bogeys, answered by back-to-back birdies at the 4th and the 5th. Then the wreck at the 10th, then nine points across the 14th to the 16th. His lead grew rather than shrank. The Trophy gap reached 18, the Jacket gap 13. He did not avoid the carnage. He was merely the man it charged the least.

By the time the field reached Praia D'El Rey for round 4, both the 2024 TEG Trophy and the Green Jacket were already decided, the picture unchanged from the day before. The round still produced two of the most turbulent scorecards of the tournament. Alex Baker and John Patterson played them, with nothing whatsoever at stake.

Alex began well. He picked up 9 Stableford points across three holes from the 2nd to the 4th, a man briefly in command of his own affairs. Then came the 5th, and the 5th led to the 13th. Across those nine holes he bled 25 shots, through doubles, triples and back-to-back quadruple bogeys at the 12th and 13th. From the 11th to the 13th he did not register a single net par. It was a controlled demolition, minus the control.

Patterson's ruin arrived in discrete instalments. A sextuple bogey 10 at the 15th, one of the hardest holes on the course. A sextuple bogey 9 at the 14th, his worst hole of the tournament relative to par. Quadruple bogeys at the 1st and the 18th bookended the day with a certain tidiness.
