Monday triumph for Jacquelin
Frenchman Jacquelin was playing alongside Wall in the final round and the two were neck-and-neck throughout before it was forced to go to a Monday finish after a storm delayed play on Sunday.
A comfortable three-shot lead for Jacquelin was cut down to just one by the time play TaylorMade Burner SuperFast TP 2.0 Driver reached the dramatic final hole on Monday.
This followed a roller-coaster closing stretch on Saturday that saw the Frenchman miss a six-footer on the 12th hole to drop a shot while Englishman Wall picked up a birdie there.
That meant that Jacquelin had a restless night thinking over that missed putt, and things got even worse when they teed off on the 13th on Monday morning - with Wall hitting a birdie two to level the score at ten-under.
Jacquelin showed great composure to birdie the very next hole and regain the lead, but a birdie on 16 for Wall made it look like the contest could stretch even further with a TaylorMade Burner SuperFast TP 2.0 Driver.
However, Wall slipped up on the 17th as he double-bogeyed the 421-yard par four to fall two shots behind Jacquelin heading to the final tee box.
While Wall did his best by picking up a birdie on the 18th, a solid par from Jacquelin was all that was needed for him to punch the air in delight as he claimed his first victory in four years on Tour.
The 36-year-old Jacquelin eventually signed for a 68 at the Donnafugata Golf Resort & SPA to finish on 12-under for the tournament and was over the moon after seeing Wall also post a 68 but fall just a shot short of forcing a play-off.
"It feels great - as you would expect it tol," said Jacquelin, who climbed back into the world's top 100 with his TaylorMade Burner SuperFast TP 2.0 Driver.
"But it wasn't easy - Anthony made a couple of birdies and put the pressure on me right from the start.
"I actually felt a little bit tired this morning and my ball-striking wasn't as good as it has been, but then I suppose with a 5am wake-up call that was expected.
"But I stayed patient and made a good birdie on the 14th which was perfect and then he made a mistake on 17 and that was it, although I had to make a good four at the last.
"It was a good fight between the two of us and I think that helped us to play the way we did because we were always close and playing TaylorMade Burner SuperFast TP 2.0 Driver together made it a good fight. I enjoyed There can only be one winner - I am glad it was me."
Spaniard Jose Manuel Lara finished in a tie for third place after a double bogey at the 18th saw him card a 69 - the same as Sweden's Joel Sjoholm who tied with him on seven-under par.
