England's Andy Sullivan snatched The South African Open Championship from home favourite Charl Schwartzel after a dramatic play-off in Johannesburg.
Sullivan, a student of putting coach and HSPSE director Phil Kenyon, fired a remarkable approach from the trees to 12 feet at the first extra hole and sank the putt to secure his first European Tour win. Schwartzel had taken a five shot lead into the final round at Glendower Golf Club and still led by four with five holes to play. However, the former Masters champion then failed to get up and down from a greenside bunker on the 14th and three-putted the 16th to run up a double bogey six, before another bogey at the 17th led left him tied with Sullivan on 11 under par.
The players returned to the 18th for a sudden-death play-off and, after both had missed the fairway, Sullivan produced a stunning recovery for a winning birdie. Congratulations Andy on your first win, keep up the great form in 2015!
