Shaun Norris loses lead, fights back to win first DP World title in South Africa

JOHANNESBURG – South Africa’s Shaun Norris claimed his first title on the DP World Tour after losing his overnight lead and then fighting back to reclaim the advantage on the penultimate hole at the Steyn City Championship on Sunday.

Norris finished with a 70 to win by three shots on 25 under par.

Compatriot Dean Burmester (69) was second after he had snatched the lead and appeared on course to take the title in Johannesburg.

Norris, who was four clear overnight, saw Burmester charge ahead on the opening nine. But Norris made four birdies coming in, including three in his last five holes.
