Branden Grace rolled in a lengthy birdie try on the 16th hole that proved to be the difference as he raced past Scott Jamieson to win the Nedbank Golf Challenge in his home country.
Grace started the day three shots off the lead, but he moved into a three-way tie for the lead with Jamieson and Victor Dubuisson with just four holes to play. His 40-foot birdie try on No. 16 found the target, and two closing pars were enough to edge Jamieson by one and Dubuisson by two.
Grace hit all 18 greens in regulation during his bogey-free 66 and becomes the first South African to win this event since Trevor Immelman in 2007.
