He also posted strong showings at the Magical Kenya Open (T23 at -13) and Hero Dubai Desert Classic (T23 at -4) earlier in the season.

While Ding has yet to break through with a tournament victory or top-10 finish in the events tracked, his 2026 results demonstrate steady improvement, particularly in his ability to post under-par scores in competitive fields. His performance fluctuated somewhat with a T35 at the Investec SA Open Championship (-3) and less successful outings at the Qatar Masters (T114, +2) and Bahrain Championship (T84, -1).
