Joburg Open: Bradbury Claims Victory, Sharma Ends Tied 57th.webp

Johannesburg, March 9 India's Shubhankar Sharma carded a round of 2-over par 72 on the final day of the Joburg Open and finished tied 57th in the tournament here.

The final round saw Sharma start with a birdie, followed by a bogey, before playing five pars. On the eighth, he managed to claim his second birdie of the day, putting him at 1-under par at the turn.

A bogey on the 13th and two consecutive bogeys on the 15th and 16th holes saw Sharma drop three shots in four holes, closing the day with a 2-over par score and the week with a total of 1-under par (66-72-69-72).

The Joburg Open has been a successful venue for Sharma, as he has made the cut in four out of his five appearances at the event, and recorded his first title on the DP World Tour at this venue back in 2017.

Dan Bradbury dominated the field on the final day, taking the title with a 5-under par 65 and a total score of 17-under par (64-70-64-65).

Bradbury secured his third DP World Tour title this week, as he demonstrated nerves of steel to come back from a three-stroke deficit against Hennie Du Plessis at the turn of the final round.

Bradbury put up an incredible performance on the back nine, making four birdies and not dropping a shot, as all his closest rivals dropped shots to fall out of contention.

With only four holes remaining, Du Plessis dropped three strokes in two holes, with a bogey on the 15th and a double bogey on the 16th, bringing him level with the eventual winner. Casey Jarvis and Brandon Robinson Thompson also dropped shots late in their final round, falling short by one stroke as Bradbury birdied the 17th and made par on the 18th to seal the title.

Dan Bradbury made seven birdies and two bogeys in his final round, with both bogeys occurring on the front nine.
