“It’s just amazing. I can’t understand what’s happening the last couple of days, it’s just amazing and feels great,” said the German player.
“I just had the goal to enjoy today, it’s just the beginning of my career so I just enjoyed it as much as possible and played great and got lucky that it was my day.
“I thought it was super-close and then I saw the leaderboard on 15, saw I was four shots ahead or whatever and then I was super-nervous. I just kept on going and it was a pretty nice finish.”

South Africa’s Hennie Du Plessis double bogeyed the par-4 13th and closed with a 68 to finish tied for second place at 20-under alongside compatriot Zander Lombard who made nine birdies and two bogeys for a 65.
“I just changed my mindset,” said Du Plessis, “I was in the lead for the first time ever in Kenya two ago and I was like, ‘I want to win now, I want to play the course record, I want everything now!’
“Yesterday I was just like, ‘If I make a top 20 or top 15 it’s a great week’, so I just stuck to the plan and made nine pars in a row and I was super-calm.
“I made three good birdies, especially the last one yesterday on 18 was amazing, and then going out today it was just a perfect round of golf. Really enjoyable.”
