Daniel van Tonder Clinches SDC Open Victory, Reclaims No. 1 Spot

Posted : 27 January 2025

Daniel van Tonder claimed a thrilling playoff victory at the SDC Open held at Zebula Golf Estate and Spa on Sunday, reclaiming his No. 1 position on the Sunshine Tour Order of Merit. Going into the final round seven shots behind leader Altin van der Merwe, who was chasing his first Tour win, van Tonder surged ahead with an impressive finish.

 

 He made four consecutive birdies for a round of 67, setting the clubhouse target at 16 under par. Despite van der Merwe leading by as much as six shots during the final round, a series of mistakes, including a double bogey and two bogeys, led to a playoff between the two.

 

In the playoff, van Tonder played the par-five 18th with composure, securing a solid par to claim the victory, while van der Merwe finished with a double bogey. Reflecting on the win, van Tonder shared his satisfaction with his ability to chase down scores and apply pressure, which ultimately led him to his third victory of the season and his third playoff win.

 

This victory also marked his 12th professional win, the first since becoming a father, and solidified his focus on maintaining his spot at the top of the Order of Merit.

 

With a career now spanning over a decade and a total of 12 victories, including the prestigious South African Open, van Tonder’s place among the elite of the Sunshine Tour is undeniable.

 

He expressed a desire to finish the season strong and further extend his lead at the top of the Order of Merit. Having achieved success through self-coaching and dedication, van Tonder continues to aim for even greater accomplishments in the future.
