English golfer Dan Bradbury captured his second Joburg Open championship on Sunday, delivering a clutch final round performance at Houghton Golf Club in South Africa. The tournament concluded with Bradbury finishing at 17-under-par after shooting a stellar 65 in the final round.
The victory came down to the wire as Bradbury needed only a par on the final hole to secure the win. Despite finding his second shot off the green on the 18th hole, he executed a brilliant chip shot that landed within a foot of the cup, sealing the one-stroke victory.
South African golfer Casey Jarvis, who had captured the previous two DP World Tour events, fell just short of completing a hat-trick of wins. Jarvis finished tied for second place alongside England’s Brandon Robinson-Thompson, with both players carding final rounds of 66.
Following his victory, Bradbury reflected on his challenging start to the final round. “I thought I had lost in on the front nine, I had so many chances and did not take them,” Bradbury said. “But it feels really good to put it together on the back nine.”
The champion also praised his competitors, stating, “Casey and Brandon played amazing, it was pretty tight but I somehow managed to get it done in the end.”
This marks Bradbury’s third career victory on the European tour. His inaugural triumph also came at the Joburg Open in 2022, and he added another title at the 2024 FedEx Open de France.
