Moolman, who ended his third round with two bogeys for joint second place, also had a tough start to his fourth round with two more bogeys within his first four holes. But he made up for this as he went through his next 12 holes in eight under par for a final round of 66 and a winning total of 12 under par.

“At least I didn’t finish like I did yesterday, but I am very happy with how I played the back nine. It is a tough course with some tricky flags,” Moolman said.

After losing out on the Sunbet Challenge Sun Sibaya title in a playoff two weeks ago, Moolman was happy to get the win this time.

“I have been knocking but it feels amazing to actually pull it through without a playoff this time. I am very happy about it,” Moolman added.

Rupert Kaminski, who led by four strokes going into the final round, struggled to a closing 73 for joint second place on 10 under par alongside Kyle de Beer (67) and Altin van der Merwe (69).
