A second Big Easy IGT Challenge Tour win for Mostert

Edenvale golfer Dylan Mostert hit two perfect shots into the closing hole at State Mines Country Club, twice, to capture his second Big Easy IGT Challenge Tour victory in extra time on May 23.

In his first trip down the 18th in regulation play, the 19-year-old Mostert split the fairway and parked his approach shot 10 foot from the hole. He boxed the birdie putt for a five-under-par 67 and set the clubhouse at nine-under.

Then he did it again after overnight leader Bruiners also made three at the par four 18th for a 70 to force a sudden-death play-off.

“I drove the fairway again and had 110m flag,” said Mostert.

“Heinie found the fairway bunker and his trap-shot flew the green.

“I hit my second to 10 foot (about three metres).

“Heinie had a really tough lie, but he hit a great chip to 12 foot (about 3.6m).

“He missed the par putt though, leaving me with two putts for the win, but I nailed it on the first try.”

“A huge thank you to Kevin Jarvis and the staff at State Mines for giving us an amazing course.

“The greens were true and firm and the set-up was a great test.”
