Jacques Kruyswijk closed with a bogey-free, 4-under 67 to reach 18-under and win his maiden DP World Tour title at the Magical Kenya Open presented by absa, becoming the second South African winner of the event since it became part of the DP World Tour’s Global Schedule.
“It’s special. I’m a little bit lost for words but this is for my family back home, my friends, my team and this is for South Africa. I’m happy that I can keep the trophy on African soil and obviously bring it back to South Africa. It makes me very proud.
“I’m super proud of myself with the mindset I’ve had this week and the way I’ve played this golf course. What can I say? I’m happy.
“The Investec South African Open Championship is special for all of us South Africans and I’m super excited to be there next week as a winner. I’m pumped to get home.”
England’s John Parry made a single bogey and signed for a 68 to finish second at 16-under.
“I’m very happy with my week. Obviously it didn’t go the way I wanted it today but I played as good as I could, I tried to push him as hard as I could, he just played better on the day really,” said Parry.
South African Deon Germishuys made two bogeys and also carded a 68 to finish third at 13-under followed a shot further behind by compatriot Jayden Schaper who shot a bogey-free 66.
