At the Championship, Louis Oosthuizen won by two strokes to claim his 10th DP World Tour championship and his first in five years.
Due to intense rain and the possibility of lightning, play at Leopard Creek Country Club in Mpumalanga, South Africa, had been postponed on Sunday.
On Monday, when play in the final round resumed, Oosthuizen pulled ahead of fellow South African Charl Schwartzel.
He hung on to win by two strokes on 18 under despite a nervous finish.
The 2010 Open champion, Louis Oosthuizen, bogeyed the 17th hole before hitting the par-five 18th hole with water off the tee.
But Schwartzel concluded with back-to-back birdies, and the 41-year-old holed a putt from more than 20 feet After making consecutive pars to finish at three under 69, Schwartzel signed for a 71.
“This is a tournament that I really wanted,” said Oosthuizen, who plays on the LIV Golf tour.
“It took me a while. It’s always a great place to come back to. I wouldn’t say 18 was kind to me this time, but I managed it a little bit—maybe not on the last hole there, but I got it through.”
South African Christiaan Bezuidenhout finished third on 14 under, and England’s Marco Penge came in tied fourth with Germany’s Matti Schmid and Dutchman Darius van Driel.
