TYRAN Snyders gained a crucial shot when most of the front-runners had a challenging day to win the Blue Label Bushveld Tour’s Blue Label Series #3 at The Els Club Copperleaf in Centurion, Gauteng, South Africa, on Wednesday.
The two South African golfers had finished the three-round tournament tied on seven-under-par 209, but it was Snyders who claimed top honours in one of South Africa’s premier development tours. They were two shots ahead of the of the field. He opened the tournament with a three-under-par 69 on Monday. His first round included six birdies and three bogeys. Notably, he carded back-to-back birdies on both the 4th and 5th, and the 7th and 8th holes. Despite bogeys on the 10th, 12th, and 16th, he closed strongly with birdies on the final two holes. In the second round, Snyders repeated his three-under-par 69, bringing him to a cumulative six-under. A standout moment came with an eagle on the par-five 11th hole, along with birdies on the 2nd, 4th, 8th, and 15th. He again recorded three bogeys during the round. The eventual champion rounded off the tournament with a one-under-par 71, which was enough to force a play-off with Conradie. His final round featured five birdies and four bogeys. Conradie posted round scores of 68, 73, and 68. Eric Wowor finished third after rounds of 71, 72, and 68, ending on five-under-par 211. He was tied with Kaiyuree Moodley, who carded rounds of 69, 67, and 75.
Three players shared fifth position on four-under-par 212, while a further three were tied for eighth place on two-under-par 214, rounding off the top of the leaderboard. CJ Van Wyk was the highest placed amateur in position 12 on level-par 216.
