SUN CITY, South Africa – Christiaan Bezuidenhout won a second straight tournament on the European Tour when he finished with a 69 for an 18-under-par total and a convincing five-shot victory at the South African Open on Sunday.
The 26-year-old South African became the first player since Justin Rose in 2017 to win European Tour events on consecutive weeks. Bezuidenhout won the Alfred Dunhill Championship, also in South Africa, last weekend and now has three career tour titles.
Bezuidenhout took a five-shot lead into the final round at Gary Player Country Club at the Sun City resort and maintained that advantage over Jamie Donaldson of Wales, who also closed with a 69.
