Calum Hill Wins Joburg Open in Thrilling Playoff Finish

Posted : 10 March 2025

Calum Hill secured a remarkable victory at the Joburg Open, triumphing in a dramatic three-man playoff at Houghton Golf Club. The Scottish golfer delivered a stunning final-round 62 to set the clubhouse lead at 14 under par, later matched by South Africans Jacques Kruyswijk and Shaun Norris.

 

The trio faced off on the par-four 18th hole for the playoff, where all three made par on the first attempt. On the second playoff hole, Norris found trouble in the right fairway bunker and then hit his approach into the water, resulting in a double bogey. Kruyswijk bogeyed the hole, while Hill’s steady par secured his second DP World Tour title.

 

The final round was filled with tension as Norris, who held a four-shot overnight lead, quickly saw his advantage shrink after consecutive bogeys on the opening holes. The back nine produced an intense battle, with Hill, Kruyswijk, and Dylan Frittelli all contending for the lead.

 

Norris faltered on the 12th with a costly double bogey, while Hill also stumbled with a bogey on the 16th. Kruyswijk briefly claimed the outright lead with a birdie on the 14th but dropped a shot on the 15th, allowing Hill to capitalize with a crucial birdie on the final hole to set the clubhouse target.

 

As the pressure mounted, Kruyswijk responded with a birdie on the 17th to force a playoff, while Norris drained a clutch putt on the 18th to join them. Despite the fierce competition, Hill emerged victorious, expressing both surprise and joy at his performance.

 

 “I thought we might need one or two more birdies. I just had to wait and see, and fortunately, 14 under held up to get into a playoff, and then anything can happen. I’m just fortunate to come out on top,” he said.
