South African Haydn Porteous held his nerve for a bogey-free round of 69 to claim a maiden European Tour victory at the Joburg Open on Sunday. Joint overnight leader Porteous made just five bogeys all week and hit every green in regulation at the Royal Johannesburg and Kensington Golf Club during his final round, while the chasing pack behind him struggled for the same consistency.
The 21-year-old finished the tournament on 18-under-par, two shots ahead of compatriot Zandersaf Lombard (71).
A further shot back was group of four players, all of who looked as though they may steal the limelight on Sunday before fading - Swede Bjorn Akesson (68), England's Anthony Wall (72), Daniel Im (70) from the US and home hope Justin Walters (69).
