DP World Tour : Investec South African Open ...Leaderboard
Greenkeeping staff at Durban Country Club have been praised for their “inspiring team effort” in overcoming inclement weather to get the course playable at the Investec South African Open Championship.
Heavy rainfall from Tuesday night led to areas of the course being submerged by water, with Wednesday’s pre-tournament Pro-Am called off, before a three-hour delay to the first round was announced.
“On behalf of the Sunshine Tour and DP World Tour and all our professionals, we are extremely grateful to all the parties for their outstanding effort to enable us to start the first round today,” said Thomas Abt, Commissioner of the Sunshine Tour.
“They worked through the night and against the odds, and what they achieved is nothing short of remarkable. We are truly grateful for such an inspiring team effort. Thank you.”
The championship, which has a new date in the schedule, is returning to a revamped Durban Country Club for the first time since 2010.
