Description

The South African Open Championship is one of the oldest national open golf championships in the world, having first been played in 1903, and is one of the principal tournaments on the Southern-Africa-based Sunshine Tour. Since 1997 it has also been co-sanctioned by the European Tour.
From 1999 to 2016, the tournament was the Sunshine Tour's flagship event for the purposes of the Official World Golf Ranking, earning a minimum of 32 OWGR points for the winner. It was replaced as the flagship event for 2017 by the Alfred Dunhill Championship before regaining its status the following year. In 2020, the Alfred Dunhill Championship once again replaced the South African Open as the tour's flagship event.
In December 2018, the event became part of the Open Qualifying Series, giving up to three non-exempt players entry into The Open Championship.

Christiaan Bezuidenhout has won back-to-back tournaments at home at the 110th South African Open.
He started his round with a five shot lead ahead of Jamie Donaldson but struggled on the front nine and made no birdies but bogeyed the par-4 8th making the turn in 37 and allowing Donaldson to within two shots.
He found his form again on the back nine starting with three consecutive birdies from the 10th and another on the 16th.
