Walldürn-Neusaß/Germany − "I felt pretty comfortable with my game during the last weeks", Schwartz said after receiving the trophy and the 5000 euro cheque. "But I was not scoring very well in the tournaments." So the 26 year old and his coach Guillaume Biaugeaud decided to change tactics: "I played much more aggressive this week and also intensified my preparation before every round." Schwartz showed up one hour earlier on each tournament day, checked pin positions and made an exact game plan for every single stroke. "This way I had easier shots into the green and also easier puttlines." The intensified preparation paid off with his second victory on the Pro Golf Tour − in 2013 he had won the Red Sea Ain Sokhna Classic in Egypt.

With this win Schwartz moves up to 7th place in the Pro Golf Tour Order of Merit. New No. 1 of the rankings is German Philipp Mejow who changed place with Dutchman Reinier Saxton.
