DP World Tour & Sunshine Tour - Alfred Dunhill Championship
Home favourite Shaun Norris claimed his second DP World Tour title in style after coming from way back to win the Alfred Dunhill Championship by a single shot. The 42-year-old began the final round six shots off the lead but fired a stunning 67 on Sunday to set the clubhouse target at 13 under par. With many players in the final groups still in contention, it was not clear whether Norris' total would be enough to earn him the trophy.
But Leopard Creek Country Club's difficult closing stretch picked off the chasing pack one by one until only countryman Ryan van Velzen had a realistic chance of denying Norris at least a play-off. Van Velzen was locked alongside Norris at the summit as he stood at the 18th tee but after he put his approach shot into the water, the 23-year-old was unable to save par and Norris clinched the title. Third-round leader Marcus Kinhult, Van Velzen and England's John Parry finished in a three-way tie for second, one shot behind Norris on 12 under.
