Speaking after his victory, Van Der Berg said he was proud to have won the title while also giving credit to Snyman. “It was harder work than what I thought it was going to be towards the end, but credit to Wandre, he didn’t stop fighting. It’s just a shame about his bad luck on the play-off hole. I knew I had to dig deep somewhere. I’m grateful that it’s me, but it could easily have been him,” said Van Der Berg (via Big Easy Tour). Having opened the tournament with a five-under-par 67 on Tuesday, Van Der Berg was part of a four-way tie for first place alongside Daniel Smith, Snyman and Richard Kruger. On moving day, he carded a 70 to move to seven-under-par 137, sharing the lead with Eric Wowor and Snyman. He then closed with a three-under-par 69. In his final round, Van Der Berg had a flawless front nine, picking up three consecutive birdies at holes seven, eight and nine for an outward 33. After the turn, he produced a mixed performance, with a birdie at the 10th followed by a bogey at the 11th, before another birdie at the 13th was followed by a bogey at the 14th. He also birdied the 17th hole and dropped a shot at the 18th for an inward 36. Zachary Chegwidden finished in third place on eight-under-par 208 with rounds of 72, 68 and 68.
