Who? 31 year-old South African Branden Grace

What? The 2020 South African Open, his ninth European Tour victory

Where? Randpark Golf Club, Johannesburg, South Africa

How? Grace had started the final round behind fellow countryman Louis Oosthuizen, but fired a sensational 62 to take a three stroke victory despite the best efforts of Oosthuizen, who made a hole in one on the 8th hole, and Englishman Marcus Armitage who closed with a 69.

Following the victory, Grace said:

That was remarkable. I played flawless golf and I can't remember the last time the putter was that hot. This is the one I really wanted. This means so much to any South African, winning on home soil, the guys get so behind you and it's such an emotional feeling.
