Otto claims South African title

Hennie Otto won his home South African Open by a stroke from Austrian Bernd Wiesberger today after a nerve-testing finish at Serengeti.

Otto was three clear with six holes to play, but fell back into a tie with bogeys at the 13th, 15th and long 16th.

The 35-year-old chipped to six feet and birdied the 375-yard 17th, however, and then safely parred the last for a closing 72 and 14-under-par total of 274.
