European Tour at Leopard Creek final scoreboard ..Leaderboard
Christian Bezuidenhout claimed his second European Tour title as a brilliantly composed bogey-free back nine of 34 handed him a four shot victory at the 2020 Alfred Dunhill Championship.
The home favourite entered the final day at Leopard Creek Country Club three shots off the lead and despite making a double and a bogey on the front nine to turn in 35, he had trimmed that gap to one at the turn.
As the rest of the leading contenders fought for their maiden victories, Bezuidenhout then used all of his experience to card three birdies on the way home in a 69 to finish at 14 under, clear of England's Richard Bland, American Sean Crocker, Pole Adrian Meronk and South African Jayden Schaper.
Bezuidenhout's route to the top has been a remarkable one, as he revealed in a European Tour Player Blog in March of last year.
He nearly died after accidentally drinking rat poison as a child, an event that saw him develop a stutter and anxiety, the medication for which led to him being handed a ban as an amateur.
Bezuidenhout was cleared of using any form of drug to enhance his performance, but his nine month exile from the game meant he missed the Eisenhower Trophy..
