Brandon Stone rejoices in SA Open victory

Brandon Stone was almost at a loss for words after recovering from losing a five-shot lead to win the BMW SA Open after a remarkable final round in Johannesburg.

The 22-year-old carded seven birdies, six bogeys and just five pars as he went from five shots ahead to two behind in the space of seven holes, before four birdies in the next five secured his first European Tour title.

After play was disrupted by afternoon thunderstorms for the first three days, Stone completed a third round of 65 to take a two-shot lead which he swiftly extended with birdies on the second and fourth.
