Dan Bradbury outlasts leaders to win Joburg Open....Final Results

     DP World Tour : Joburg Open Leaderboard Results

Dan Bradbury kept his cool to secure his second Joburg Open title after a hectic final round in South Africa.

Hennie du Plessis looked in pole position for victory when he reached the turn with a three-shot lead but just as the chasing pack closed in, he dropped three shots at the 15th and 16th to fade out of contention.

Casey Jarvis, who was looking to join an elite group of players with three consecutive DP World Tour event wins, surged into the lead late on, but bogeyed the 17th before missing a birdie putt at the last which would have extended the tournament.

Brandon Robinson Thompson had gone down the final hole with a one-shot lead, but three-putted to finish alongside Jarvis at -16 

Bradbury was standing in the 18th fairway as his fellow Englishman bogeyed the last to give him a one-shot advantage, only to overshoot the last green.

However, he produced a stunning recovery shot for a tap-in par which sealed his third DP World Tour success and second at Houghton Golf Club.

He only needed a par to secure his third DP World Tour win and his brilliant recovery shot meant he did just that for a final-round 65 and a -17 total.

"It sounds pretty good," Bradbury said. "I thought I lost it on front nine, I had so many chances and I just didn't take anything.

"It feels really good to put it together on the back nine, probably wasn't expecting it as Hennie was playing so well, but yeah, feels amazing.

"Casey and Brandon were obviously playing amazing because I saw their names on the leaderboard all the way round - it was tight all the way round wasn't it - but I somehow managed to get it done in the end.

"It's probably similar to Wakefield where I grew up. It's quite tight, tree-lined and got to drive it well. I did that and putted pretty solid this week, although it didn't feel amazing, but got the result and that's all that matters."

Late in the round Jarvis, Du Plessis and Robinson Thompson shared the lead at -17 before Du Plessis slipped down the leaderboard, and all will rue the one that got away.

Jarvis and Robinson Thompson both carded 66s to T2 -16 while Du Plessis was two shots further back at -14.

Frenchman David Ravetto finish 5th at -13,  while Fitzpatrick, Emirati Adrian Otaegui and South African pair Daniel van Tonder and Louis Albertse finished one shot further adrift at -12.

With a week off the tour begins it's Asian Swing with events in China, India then Turkey.

Daniel Berger's 5 shot lead is down to 2 shots, he is E through 15 holes at -13. When he returns Sunday morning he has a 35 foot eagle putt on par 5,16th.

Lefty Akshay Bhatia is 2nd on -11, he is -3 through 16.

Sepp Straka 66, Cameron Young 67 and Collin Morikawa 70 are all finished at -9 T3.

Canadians are well back out of contention.

Corey Conners T30  69 74 72 -1

Taylor Pendrith T38 73 73 71 +1

Nick Taylor T46   72 72 75 +3

*** Rory McIlroy hurt his back, so withdrew prior to his tee off.

Scott Scheffler T20 -3 72. The old adage, the toughest golf course in the world is the 6 inches between your ears, just watch the world #1 losing his cool, grimacing and complaining to his caddie, bamboozled by the lightning fast Bay Hill greens.

They won't be much slower on Sunday..
