Paul Dunne ninth behind Haydn Porteous

South Africa’s Haydn Porteous carded a final round 69 to win his first European Tour title at the Joburg Open yesterday.

Porteous became the second South African in as many weeks to open his account after Brandon Stone’s triumph at the BMW SA Open last Sunday.

Ireland’s Paul Dunne, just two shots off the pace going into the final round, could only muster a 72 yesterday to finish five shots behind the winner. However, the Greystones man, chasing his maiden Tour win, will be happy with his week’s work as he arrived in South Africa having just recovered from a viral infection.
