Local favourite George Coetzee triumphs at Tshwane Open

South Africa's George Coetzee wins on the European Tour for a second time with a one-shot victory on his home course in the Tshwane Open.

George Coetzee has claimed a one-shot victory on his home course in the Tshwane Open.

The South African shot a five-under-par final round of 65 to finish one clear of compatriot Jacques Blaauw at Pretoria CC.

It is the 28-year-old's second victory on the European Tour after his triumph at the Joburg Open a little over a year ago.

Blaauw's blemish-free round of 61 earned him the clubhouse lead as he soared up the leaderboard, but Coetzee held his nerve down the stretch, with a birdie at 17 proving crucial.

In fact, Coetzee's last bogey in the tournament was on the third hole on Saturday, meaning that he finished with 33 bogey-free holes.
