Slabbert, who was trailing by two shots with two holes to play, birdied both number 17 and 18 for a closing one-over-par 74 to finish on four-over-par 150 having opened with a 76. Riccardo, who was the overnight leader birdied number 17 before dropping a shot on the 18th for a closing 75 as Slabbert forced a play-off. Riccardo had opened with a 75. For Slabbert, the victory was a surreal feeling. “I am absolutely delighted, especially with the play-off holes, I got a bit nervous out there. The tee shots are tight, especially holes were your second shots are not easy. So I was really nervous. So I am actually glad to be done with it. It's an absolutely amazing feeling to get it done,” he said. Slabbert also secured his spot at the 10-player G4D Tour Series Finale, which will be staged in conjunction with the Rolex Grand Final supported by The R&A at Club de Golf Alcanada, in Port d'Alcúdia, Mallorca, Spain on October 30 to November 1. The G4D Tour was making its return after a three-months break in its schedule, with five players making their first starts, including Marjan Gavez, the top-ranked player in the Net rankings. Gavez, of Slovenia finished tied for third with England’s Bradley Smith.
