Scotland’s Calum Hill shot a magnificent eight-under par final round of 62 and prevailed after a three-man play-off to win the Joburg Open.

The 30-year-old started the day eight shots back on overnight leader Shaun Norris, who faded badly but sneaked in a birdie putt at the last to set up a three-way shootout with Hill and Jacques Kruyswijk.

All three recorded par on the first play-off hole but, after Norris found the water on the second and Hill tapped in for par, Kruyswijk raced a five-foot putt past to gift the Fifer victory.

It is Hill’s second DP World Tour win, following the Cazoo Classic in August 2021, and it shoots the world number 286 into 11th place in the Race to Dubai rankings.

“It’s awesome. I think that might be my first play-off ever,” he told Sky Sports.

“It was a little bit by surprise at the end – I thought we’d have to do again – but I’m delighted. It was a fantastic day and winning was the cherry on top.”
