Tommy Fleetwood (England) won his sexond Rolex Series title at the Nedbank Golf Challenge after impressive final round 65. Fleetwood started the day six shots behind the leader, but after three eagles, four birdies and three bogeys he climbed to 12 under par. This score was matched by Marcus Kinhult who needed 68 strokes on the course today. The duo went out on the course once again to determine the winner. After a poor tee shot Kinhult had to settle with a bogey five. Tommy Fleetwood held his nerve and after an excellent up and down parred the hole to claim the title.
