James wins in Playoff!
From Sunshine Tour media…
James Kamte won his fourth Sunshine Tour title on Sunday when he sank a 10-foot birdie putt to win the R600,000 BMG Classic in a sudden-death playoff with Dawie van der Walt.
| The pair finished level on none-under-par 207 after 54 holes, giving them a one-stroke edge over Shaun Norris in third. He won the playoff on the first hole with an intimidating 320-metre drive which made the 90-metre approach he was left a simple affair. “That’s what you’ve got to do in a playoff,” he said afterwards. “Smoke it and don’t even look after it – just bend down and pick up your tee and walk.” He was contesting the playoff on the back of a superlative eight-under-par 64 for his final round, a bogey-free round which took an extraordinary nine-under 63 from Van der Walt to haul him in. |
“I could have made birdie on every hole on the final nine,” said Kamte, “I was hitting it so well. But I said before the tournament started that I wanted to win it.”
The victory ended a drought for the 29-year-old Kamte, who last won a significant event on his Asian Tour debut in the 2009 Asian Tour International.
“I’ve been battling injury for a long time,” said Kamte who hurt his knee and his wrist in a surfing accident in Thailand with Anton Haig and Pablo Larrazabal soon after his victory.
