Ockie Strydom claimed a maiden title at the Alfred Dunhill Championship on the European Tour after carding a final round 69 to secure the victory.
The South African golfer started the final round at 15 under par but soon suffered a setback. He hit a double bogey on the ninth hole and was on the edge of losing the title.
Strydom quickly recovered with four birdies on the next hole, and with a simple putt on the 18th, he won his first tour title on home soil, defeating Spaniard Adrian Otaegui and Laurie Canter.
Ockie missed his family after the tournament and spoke while interacting with the media. He said:
“My wife and parents are probably crying at home.”
Ockie went on to say:
“This is my favorite place; the course is looking phenomenal, the best I have ever seen it. It’s in the bush, and I’m calm in the bush.”
It is important to note that Ockie Strydom is a professional South African golfer who has recently risen to fame. The golfer previously made headlines after winning the 2019 Vodacom Origins of Golf at Sishen.
On Sunday, Ockie won his first professional tournament as part of the European Tour 2023 and the 2022–2023 Sunshine Tour, setting a record for the third hole.
