A closing five-under-par 67 saw English professional Jake Bolton secure a two-stroke victory over Andrew Williamson and Oliver Goldhill at the Betway Big Easy Tour 10 at Ebotse Links in Benoni, South Africa on Thursday.

Bolton surged from seventh place on moving day to claim the title, finishing on eight-under-par 208, while Williamson and Goldhill both carded six-under-par 210. It was his maiden Betway Big Easy Tour title.

After opening with a 70 in the first round, followed by a 71 on moving day, Bolton began the final round tied for seventh on three-under-par 141, two shots off the lead. He then produced a near-flawless closing round of 67, dropping just a single shot. Bolton enjoyed a faultless front nine, picking up birdies at the second, fifth, seventh and eighth holes to turn in 32. After the turn, he added another birdie at the 11th before dropping a shot at the 16th. He recovered with a closing birdie at the 18th for an inward 35, which proved enough to secure the championship. Runner-up Williamson posted rounds of 73, 72 and 65, while Goldhill recorded scores of 69, 70 and 71. Next on the schedule is the Betway Big Easy Tour play-off, which tees off at Modderfontein Golf Club next Tuesday. Following the play-off, the top 12 players on the combined Sunshine Development Tour East Africa Swing and Big Easy Tour Order of Merit will earn direct playing cards for the Sunshine Tour.

Thereafter, the top 30 players from the SunDev Tour East Africa Swing and the top 30 from the Big Easy Tour will contest the Big Easy Tour Finals, scheduled for March 2026 in South Africa, where 12 places will be available at the Sunshine Tour Final Qualifying School, offering a chance to secure additional Sunshine Tour cards.
