South African Jacques Blaauw tied a course record -9 61 to take the clubhouse lead at -13 half way through the final round at the Tshwane Open but it turned out to be not enough as hometown boy George Coetzee, playing on the Pretoria Golf course where he learned the game came through with a flawless -5 65 to get to -14, enough to win his 2nd European Tour victory.
The decisive moment came on the 17th after Coetzee had tried to drive the green on the short par four. His tee shot came up in the trees short and right of the green but with a clear path between two bunkers he took full advantage, chipping to five feet and holing for a birdie to take a one shot lead down the last, where he made par.
One of six players who started the final round tied for the lead, Coetzee who has been a member since he was 10 years old had this to say.." I think I’ve got this course down after 18 years of playing golf! I think it played to my advantage knowing when to be aggressive and when not to."
Next week the tour moves to the Madeira Islands Open followed by the Trophee Hassan II in Morocco
