Bradbury Wins Joburg Open by One Shot
England's Dan Bradbury claimed a dramatic one-shot victory at the Joburg Open on Sunday, finishing at 17 under par to secure his third DP World Tour title at Houghton Golf Club in Johannesburg, South Africa.
Bradbury, a 26-year-old from Yorkshire, carded a final-round 65 featuring five birdies, including a crucial one on the 17th hole that propelled him into the lead. He entered the day two shots behind early pacesetter Hennie du Plessis of South Africa, who held a three-shot advantage at the turn after a strong front-nine 31. Du Plessis faltered on the back nine with bogeys on the 15th and 16th, plus a double bogey on the par-3 15th in some accounts, dropping him to fourth place with a 70 and a total of 14 under.
The lead changed hands late as Casey Jarvis, the South African coming off wins at the Kenya Open and South African Open, surged ahead with birdies but bogeyed the 17th and missed a birdie putt on the 18th to end at 16 under. Playing ahead, fellow Englishman Brandon Robinson Thompson three-putted the 18th from 45 feet for bogey, also finishing at 16 under after a 66. Bradbury, watching from the 18th fairway, took a one-shot lead but overshot the green with his approach...
