DP World Tour : Magical Kenya Open Results
Jacques Kruyswijk claimed his maiden DP World Tour title after holding off the challenge of in-form playing partner John Parry to win the 2025 Magical Kenya Open presented by absa by two shots.
The South African did not put a foot wrong in the final round as he carded four birdies in a sensational 67 to reach -18 to complete a bogey-free weekend and become the second South African winner of this event since it became part of the DP World Tour’s Global Schedule.
The 32-year-old started the day with a one-stroke lead but trailed halfway leader Parry after five holes of Sunday's fourth round, with the Englishman making back-to-back birdies at the fourth and fifth to hit the front.
But Kruyswijk soon hit back, rolling in lengthy birdie putts on the sixth and seventh to lead by one at the turn, and he went on to lead and win his first DP World title by 2 shots.
Parry finished in solo second on -16 continuing an impressive start to the season that has seen him record a victory and two second-place finishes in three visits to Africa so far this campaign.
Deon Germishuys was three shots further back in third, one ahead of fellow South African Jayden Schaper in fourth.
Kruyswijk said: "It's special. I'm a little bit lost for words but this is for my family back home, my friends, my team and this is for South Africa.
"I'm happy that I can keep the trophy on African soil and obviously bring it back to South Africa. It makes me very proud.
"I'm super proud of myself with the mindset I've had this week and the way I've played this golf course. What can I say? I'm happy.
