March 10, 2015 – Trevor Fisher Jnr claimed the greatest win of his career with a resounding five shot victory on home soil at the Africa Open. The South African blew away the rest of the field playing the new Srixon Z-STAR XV golf ball, Srixon Z945 irons and Z U45 utility iron, and also using the Cleveland Golf Classic driver and three Cleveland Golf 588 Forged wedges.

An eight time winner on the Sunshine Tour, the 35 year old’s maiden European Tour title arrived courtesy of a final round eight under par 64 at East London Golf Club.

Fisher Jnr’s success maintained South Africa’s stunning record of providing every winner of this event since its inception in 2010, when he finished in a tie for fourth.

He faced strong competition from Matt Ford, also looking for a first triumph, until he pulled clear by taking full advantage of a bogey from the Englishman on the ninth with birdies either side of the turn. And there was no looking back for Fisher Jnr on the back nine, where he did not drop a shot all week, as he finished on 24 under. The victory will also grant him full playing privileges on the European Tour for 2015 and 2016.

Trevor Fisher Jnr said: “It is always nerve-racking leading, not to think about the result, but it’s quite hard and I think I did a good job today. I was nervous the last few holes, I think that is natural.”

“It was a great day, I played well and everything went well. The putter was amazing, I sank some amazing putts today. It is written in the stars.”

“I’ve tried so hard to get that European Tour card, for so many years – obviously it’s a massive step for my career because that’s where all South African golfers want to be.”
